Abstract
IT has been shown1 that traces of substances like furan, indol and skatol inhibit strongly the intensity of the absorption band of vitamin A with antimony trichloride at 620 mµ. In cod liver oil, there must be such an inhibitor, because after saponification a much stronger Carr and Price reaction is obtained with the unsaponifiable fraction.
