    Abstract:
    A collaborative study was carried out which compared the official chemical method (43.B14-43.B24), the HPLC method according to Hofsass et al. including maleic anhydride treatment, and the HLPC procedure according to De Vries et al. for vitamin D concentrates. A total of 396 samples were distributed to 33 collaborators for analysis. Five laboratories performed both the chemical and the HPLC methods. Five laboratories performed the Hofsass method and 16 laboratories performed the De Vries method. The results for the chemical method agreed with the theoretical values for the samples, and the standard deviation was comparable to that obtained in previous AOAC collaborative studies. Collaborative results for the Hofsass method were low. In addition, incorrect use of a fixed conversion factor (1/0.586) and necessity of a double chromatogrpahic system on a non-treated and a treated vitamin D sample reduce the effectiveness of the method. There were no adverse reactions to the DE Vries HPLC method. It is recommended that the method be adopted official first action as an alternative procedure for determining vitamin D in concentrates, excluding powders containing irradiated 7-dehydrocholesterol.
