A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed to determine folic acid and its photodegradation products, p-aminobenzoic acid, pterine-6-carboxylic acid, p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid, and pteroic acid in the presence of riboflavin. The method involves reversed phase, paired-ion chromatography on mu-BondaPak C18
