Popis: In this work the results obtained from studying accelerated oxidation of semi-solid excipient mixtures which contain corn oil, as vehicles for hard gelatin capsule filling, are compared with the oxidative degradation of vitamin A in the encapsulated formulations. In the first phase the Rancimat procedure was employed to evaluate the oxidation of the excipient mixtures in accelerated conditions, and in the second a real-time study was carried out on the encapsulated formulations using vitamin A as a model substance to test the oxidative resistance of the dosage form. The results show the influence of the percentage of corn oil and temperature storage on the stability of vitamin A and the relative effectiveness of BHA/BHT mixture. HPLC method was used for the quantitative determinations of vitamin A.
