FOOTNOTES TO SCHEDULE

1 Calculation of retinol equivalents for carotenoid form of vitamin A.

Carotenoid Form Conversion Factor (µg/1 µg retinol equivalents)
beta-apo-8'-carotenal 12
beta-carotene-synthetic 6
carotenes-natural 12
beta-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester 12

2 This figure represents the proportion of the RDI provided by pre-formed niacin in foods and excludes the niacin provided from the conversion of the amino acid tryptophan.

3 Recommended daily oral intake as a supplement, for those Australians not exposed to sunlight. Because of the major role of sunlight in determining vitamin D status, a RDI for vitamin D was not developed for the Australian population.

4 Calculation of alpha-tocopherol equivalents for vitamin E.

Vitamin E Form Conversion Factor (µg/1 µg alpha-tocopherol equivalents)
dl-alpha-tocopherol 1.36
d-alpha-tocopherol concentrate *
tocopherols concentrate, mixed *
d-alpha-tocopherol acetate 1.10
dl-alpha-tocopherol acetate 1.49
d-alpha-tocopherol acetate concentrate *
