Abstract
An HPLC method for the determination of beta-carotene in milk samples is described. The method has many advantages over previous methods due to its rapidity, convenience and the small volumes of solvents requir ed. beta-Carotene was 100% recovered and the relative standard deviati on of repeatability was 5.3%. The limit of quantitation was found to b e about 30 ng/ml and the system was linear in the concentration range investigated, from 0.67 to 4 mu g/ml.
