An efficient ultrasound‐assisted saponification was developed for simultaneous determination of vitamin E isomers in vegetable oil by high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The samples were saponified ultrasonically with potassium hydroxide solution for only 7 min, then the analytes were extracted with ether. Vitamin E isomers were separated on a C₁₈ column at 25°C with a mobile phase of methanol/acetonitrile (81:19, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. Fluorescence detection was operated at 290 nm of excitation wavelength and 327 nm of emission wavelength. Under the optimized conditions, good linearities over the range of 0.001–8.00 μg/mL (r > 0.999) were obtained. Mean recoveries of the method were 88.0–106%, with intra‐ and interday RSDs less than 11.8 and 12.8%, respectively. The detection limits and quantification limits of the method were 0.30–1.8 and 1.0–6.1 μg/kg …
