Summary A new simple, and rapid method is described for evaluating the stability of vitamin A in oils. The acceleration is obtained at room temperature (20°C) by spreading the oil over a neutral carrier (glass beads), thus obtaining greatly expanded surface areas, and consequent increased exposure to air. Comparative tests were conducted involving the Active Oxygen Method (“Swift” test) and, while the results were inconclusive, striking deviations in results were noted.
