Retinyl propionate has been used to determine its effects on performance, egg quality, serum and egg oxidative status and vitamin A levels in laying quails. Retinyl propionate can also be used in various formulations to control wrinkles. Retinal, retinol and retinoic acid are the aldehyde, alcohol and acid forms of vitamin A. The retinoids exist as many geometric isomers due to the unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic chain. Retinoids also exist as retinyl esters such as retinyl propionate, retinyl acetate and retinyl palmitate.
