Abstract:An analytical method was developed for the determination of 8 kinds of vitamin E isomer (tocopherol and tocotrienol) in vegetable oil by solvent dilution extraction-ultra performance liquid chromatography. The sample was extracted with acetone. The separation was achieved by using PFP column and an elution with the mobile phases of methanol and water (937) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. The identification and quantitative analysis were carried out with fluorescence detector at an ecxitation wavelength of 295 nm and an emission wavelength of 330 nm. The recoveries ranged from 90.0% to 100%, with the relative standard deviation (RSDs) between 0.28% and 1.22%. The linear range was 0.4~40.0 μg/mL and the correlation coefficient (r) was greater than 0.999. The limits of detection were 4.0 mg/kg for each vitamin E isomer. The method was enough for the analysis of vitamin E in actual samples with wide linear range and high sensitivity.
