“…diethyl ether and/or hexane, followed by numerous aqueous washing to remove soaps. The organic phase is then evaporated to dryness and the residue subjected to solid phase extraction (SPE) and/or time consuming semi preparative HPLC before the final analysis by HPLC with UV detection at 280 nm (Jakobsen & Saxholt, 2009;Kazmi, Vieth, & Rousseau, 2007; Kurmann & Indyk, 1994;Mattila, Piironen, Uusi-Rauva, & Koivistoinen, 1995;Wagner et al, 2008). HPLC with electrochemical detection has also been used to determine the levels of vitamin D 3 in infant formula and fortified foods (Perales, Delgado, Alegría, Barberá, & Farré, 2005).…”
