In this report we describe a modified reverse phase HPLC method that avoids the solvent evaporation step and allows simple and rapid determination of retinol, alpha-tocopherol, alpha-carotene and beta-carotene and achieves complete separation of alpha- and beta-carotene.

✦ Synopsis
Reverse-phase. high-performance liquid chromatography was used for the simultaneous determination of retinol, a-tocopherol, lycopene, a-carotene, and &carotene in human plasma. A multiple solvent system of methanol followed by a mixture of metbanol:acetonitrile:chloroform (47:42: 11) provided clear separation of these compounds. With retinyl acetate as an internal standard, standard curves were developed for each compound on the basis of peak area ratios. The coefficient of variation was less than lO?& in all cases within a run. Between-run reproducibiity was within +2 standard deviations. The method required 100 to 200 ~1 of plasma and 16 min of elution time per sample. Stability studies showed plasma samples could be stored at -10°C with occasional freeze-thaw cycles for 3 to 5 weeks. This method should prove useful in clinical and epidemiological work.
