A.3.3.3.1 Solution preparation
The internal standard solution is the same as A.3.3.1.1.
Reference solution: weigh 15 mg of d-α-tocopherol reference substance; accurate to
0.02 mg; place it in a brown volumetric flask; add internal standard solution dilute to
10.0 mL; cover the cork closely; shake to dissolve, then it’s done.
Sample solution: weigh an appropriate amount of sample; accurate to 0.02 mg; place
it in a brown volumetric flask; add internal standard solution to dilute to 10.0 mL; shake
to dissolve to gain a solution containing about d-α-tocopheryl acetate of 1.5 mg/mL.
A.3.3.3.2 Reference chromatographic conditions
SE-30 capillary column; hydrogen flame ion detector; keep the oven temperature at
250°C; the vaporization temperature and detection temperature are 300°C. The carrier
gas is nitrogen; adjust the carrier gas flow rate to make the internal standard peak
retention time at 18 min ~ 20 min. Inject 1 μL of the reference solution into the
chromatograph; record the chromatogram. The theoretical plate number should be
larger than 1 500 according to the α-tocopheryl acetate peak; repeat the injections;
the relative standard deviation of the correction factor should be no larger than 2.0%.
Inject 1 μL of the sample solution into the chromatograph; record the chromatogram.
Make the relative retention time of the internal standard peak at 1.0, and the relative
retention time of the α-tocopheryl acetate peak is about 0.6.

Inject 1 μL of reference solution into the gas chromatograph; record the chromatogram;
measure Aref6, the peak area of the α-tocopheryl acetate peak, and Aint6, the internal
