&lt;br /&gt;
Different forms of vitamin D in foods include cholecalciferol (vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;), which is the predominant form of vitamin D in foods, and ergocalciferol (vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Synonyms for vitamin D:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* cholecalciferol, ergocalciferol, calciferol, activated 7-dehydrocholesterol, calciol&lt;br /&gt;

-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Golden standard ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [http://www.cen.eu/cen/Sectors/TechnicalCommitteesWorkshops/CENTechnicalCommittees/Pages/Standards.aspx?param=6256&amp;amp;title=CEN/TC%20275 EN 12821:2009] Foodstuffs - Determination of vitamin D by high performance liquid chromatography - Measurement of cholecalciferol (D3) or ergocalciferol (D2)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Method indicator ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Name''&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Code''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Scope ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The European Standard EN 12821 describes a method for the determination of vitamin D in foodstuffs by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This method can be used for determination of either vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; or vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; but not for samples which contain both of these forms. This European Standard cannot be used for determination of 25-hydroxy vitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D which are metabolites of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Principle ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretreatments include saponification and extraction of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;. Semi-preparative normal phase HPLC followed by analytical reverse phase HPLC is used for determination. Only one form of vitamin D (vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; or vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;) is determined at a time and the other form is used as an internal standard. Detection is carried out by ultraviolet spectrometry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key steps ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Saponification ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The sample must be homogenised prior to saponification.&lt;br /&gt;
* Saponification is carried out by adding ethanol, water, an antioxidant and potassium hydroxide solution. &lt;br /&gt;
* The internal standard is added&lt;br /&gt;
** When determining vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; content of the sample, vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is used as an internal standard.&lt;br /&gt;
** The amount of internal standard should be equal to the amount of determined form of vitamin D expected in the sample.&lt;br /&gt;
** There should also be a sample without added internal standard to exclude a possibility of matrix interference.&lt;br /&gt;
* Saponification includes heat treatment.&lt;br /&gt;
** 70-100 °C, 20-45 min&lt;br /&gt;
** Saponification can also be carried out at room temperature overnight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Extraction ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The ratio of alcohol to water should be 1:1 before extraction to avoid emulsions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Suitable solvent is added to extract vitamin D, and extracts are washed with water.&lt;br /&gt;
* Solvent is evaporated and the sample is redissolved using solvent that is suitable for semi-preparative HPLC system.&lt;br /&gt;
* After semi-preparative HPLC, the solvent is evaporated and redissolved using solvent that is suitable with analytical HPLC system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== HPLC ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Semi-preparative HPLC system&lt;br /&gt;
** Liquid chromatographic system consisting of a pump, an injector, a UV detector (265 nm), a system for collecting a certain portion of the eluate, and a recorder or integrator.&lt;br /&gt;
** Normal phase column: particle size 5 µm, diameter 4,0-8,0 mm, length 250-300 mm. &lt;br /&gt;
** Semi-preparative HPLC is used for separation of vitamin D from tocopherols and other interfering compounds.&lt;br /&gt;
** The vitamin D fraction is collected via a band-cut.&lt;br /&gt;
*** Suitable time for band-cut is determined using vitamin D standard.&lt;br /&gt;
* Analytical HPLC system&lt;br /&gt;
** Liquid chromatographic system consisting of a pump, an injector, a UV detector (265 nm) and a data evaluation system.&lt;br /&gt;
** Reverse phase column: particle size 5 µm, diameter 4,0-4,6 mm, length 250 mm.&lt;br /&gt;
* Alternative HPLC conditions with suitable mobile phases are described in the Standard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Identification and detection ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Vitamin D is detected using a UV detector (265 nm).&lt;br /&gt;
* Identification of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is done by the comparison of the retention time obtained with the standard test solution to that of the sample test solution.&lt;br /&gt;
* The sample extracts may be detected using different UV detector wavelengths to ensure the peak identity and the purity of the vitamin D peak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Quantification and calculations ====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Standard solutions of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; and vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; are used for calibration of semi-preparative HPLC system and analytical HPLC system.&lt;br /&gt;
* Quantification is done by internal standard method.&lt;br /&gt;
** The response factor of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; to vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; is calculated using the standards with known concentration.&lt;br /&gt;
* The mass fraction of vitamin D&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; in µg/100 g of the sample is calculated taking the response factor into account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Remarks ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Vitamin D is sensitive to UV radiation and to oxidizing agents.&lt;br /&gt;
** Exposure to light should be minimised.&lt;br /&gt;
** Antioxidants should be added to the sample solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
* Alternative HPLC conditions are described.&lt;br /&gt;
* Old data&lt;br /&gt;

** colorimetry&lt;br /&gt;
** GC&lt;br /&gt;
** HPLC&lt;br /&gt;
** radio-immunoassay&lt;br /&gt;
** Older methods give unreliable data.&lt;br /&gt;
