Overview
Vitamin A usually occurs in food as retinyl esters, which are the pre-formed sources of vitamin A. Retinyl acetate exists as yellow crystals and is insoluble in water. It is soluble in ethanol and oils.
Application
Retinyl acetate has been used: to study its effects on cochlear development in mice as a component of an internal standard to quantify antioxidants in yolk as an internal standard to determine serum retinol concentration
from Synthetic, crystalline solid or supercooled liquid
Biochemical and Physiological Mechanisms
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 propionat
