Abstract
The behavior of vitamin A related compounds such as anhydrovitamin A and 5,8-monoepoxyvitamin A alcohol and antioxidants used as food additives in gel filtration through the column of Sephadex LH-20 using chloroform as the eluting solvent was examined. Then the values of the partition coefficient K_D of these compounds were determined. As reported in Vitamins 40,309 (1969), it was observed that the linear correlation between the molecular weight and the logarithm of K_D was present and the compounds containing hydroxyl groups, except BHT, were retarded on elution to the corresponding compounds having approximately similar molecular weight.
