Tocopherols were determined by HPLC analysis according to (AbdElgawad et al., 2015 (link)). Tocopherols were extracted with hexane using the MagNALyser (Roche, Vilvoorde, Belgium; 1 min, 7000 rpm). The dried extract (CentriVap concentrator, Labconco, KS, United States) was resuspended in hexane, and tocopherols were separated and quantified by HPLC (Shimadzu, ‘s Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands) (normal phase conditions, Particil Pac 5 μm column material, length 250 mm, i.d. 4.6 mm). Dimethyl tocol (DMT) was used as internal standard (5 ppm). Data were analyzed with Shimadzu Class VP 6.14 software.
