A rapid method is described for the determination of vitamin A in whole or saponified whale-liver oils. Choice of conditions depends on the presence or absence of anhydrovitamin A. One simple chromatographic treatment permits the drawing of vitamin-A absorption curves in good agreement with the pure vitamin-A curve. The method is not suitable for oils other than whale-liver oils, although its use can lead to considerable elimination of interfering substances .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
