Abstract

The total vitamin A potency of butterfat (dertved from cheese or butter) has been determined on samples from three different Victorian districts and from King Island in Bass Strait in 1945 and 1947-48. Carotene was determined colorimetrically and the Carr-Price test was used for vitamin A. The glycerol dichlorhydrin reagent was too insensitive.
