Abstract

The efficiency of wheat-germ oil in stabilizing vitamin A against the destructive action of ultra-violet radiations was investigated. A rapid and convenient method of estimating antioxidant potency is described which is based on ultraviolet irradiation of mixtures of halibut liver oil and antioxidant in chloroform solution and estimation of vitamin A by the direct application of the antimony trichloride reaction employing photoelectric colorimetry.
