Tocopherols have been determined in samples of soybean oil by a procedure which entailed the separation of triglycerides by crystallisation from solution at low temperatures. The need for quantitative separation of the tocopherol fraction was avoided through the use of an internal standard. The results given by this procedure have been found to show reasonable agreement with those obtained from conventional methods employing saponification.
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.
