From the mean height (area) of the vitamin A peaks of the sample solution determine the concentration of the sample solution in IU/ml by reference to the calibration graph (5.6.2).

The vitamin A content w in IU/kg of the sample is given by the following formula:

w=500×c×V2×1 000V1×m [IU/kg]

in which:

c
  • vitamin A concentration of the sample solution (5.4) in IU/ml

  • V1
  • volume of sample solution (5.4) in ml

  • V2
  • volume of aliquot taken in 5.4 in ml

  • m
  • weight of the test portion in g
