Liquid Chromatographic Method for Analysis of AU-rac-α-Tocopheryl Acetate and Retinyl Palmitate in Soy-Based Infant Formula Using a Zero-Control Reference Material (ZRM) as a Method Development Tool
Abstract:A liquid chromatographic method is described for analysis of all-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate, tocopherols, and retinyl palmitate in soy-based infant formula. The vitamins are extracted in isopropyl alcohol and hexane-ethyl acetate without saponification and quantitated by normal-phase chromatography with fluorescence detection. All-rac-α-tocopheryl acetate and retinyl palmitate are quantitated isocratically with mobile phases of 0.5% (v/v) and 0.125% (v/v) isopropyl alcohol in hexane, respectively. Recoveries fro… Show more
