R3250 is classified as a matrix dispersion. This product contains gelatin, sugar, modified food starch, and other components to make it convenient as an "oil dispersible material," which will not dissolve in chloroform. The gelatin and starch components in this product would not be soluble but will be dispersed or suspended in the oil. For a soluble retinol acetate product, recommended Product No. is R4632, Retinol Acetate all trans, which is soluble in chloroform (50 mg/ml), yielding a clear, yellow-green solution. Product No. R4632 is also soluble in ethanol.

General description
Retinal, retinol and retinoic acid are the aldehyde, alcohol and acid forms of vitamin A. The retinoids exist as many geometric isomers due to the unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic chain. Retinoids also exist as retinyl esters such as retinyl propionate, retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate.
Application
Retinyl acetate has been used:
- a control diet to study its effect at different developmental periods in fish larvae
- to study its inhibitory effects on Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) strains
- as an internal standard in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to quantify vitamin A in fortified milk
Biochem/physiol Actions
Retinyl esters provide pools of vitamin A that are converted into retinol and other retinoids as required. Retinyl acetate is used in a wide range of biological applications. It acts as a chemopreventive agent. Retinyl acetate also has antineoplastic property.
Physical form
Dispersion in cornstarch-gelatin matrix. Oil dispersible
Analysis Note
Activity based on HPLC comparison to USP standard.
