10 Alpha-tocopherol to
cholesterol ratio (µmol/mmol)
a It should be noted that at least 2.5% of alpha-cryptoxanthin values were below the limit of detection and therefore the lower 2.5th percentile corresponds to the notional value for such samples calculated by dividing the limit of detection by the square root of 2.
