  •  Introduction

    Of the HPLC application in analysis of Vitamins, the main problem to be overcome is sample pretreatment other than the separation from each other. If the Vitamins components are well extracted or prepurified, they can be separated and quantified with the most common HPLC system.
    However, because of the fact that many Vitamins components in various samples are from artificial and added afterwards, the amounts of the Vitamins added are much superior to that from natural. And therefore the analytical procedures can be greatly shortened and simplified.
    In this work, three methods of pretreatments were described according different samples. And, using a non gradient chromatographic profile, the fat soluble Vitamins in fish oil, plant oil, milk and make up capsule were determined respectively.
