Physical Properties

Vitamin E oil-mixed tocopherols (Tocopherol) is derived from soybean oil, as nature's fat-soluble antioxidant constitutes: Alpha-tocopherol, Beta-tocopherol, Gamma-tocopherol, Delta-tocopherol. Beta-tocopherol exists in concentrations too low to have any practical significance, free of solvent residue and metal ion. Gamma and Delta-tocopherols are known primarily for their antioxidant properties. Being used as antioxidant, their physiological activities are: Delta > Beta > Gamma > Alpha. Nowadays, Natural Vitamin E is divided into Mixed Tocopherol (Low alpha-tocopherol) and Tocopherol (High alpha-tocopherol).

Characteristics:
• Brownish or light yellow, transparent oil-like liquid with mild and special odor.
• Density 0.947-0.955 and high boiling point 250 (13.33 Pa).
• Soluble in ethanol, acetones, diethyl ether, chloroform and vegetable oils & fats, Insoluble in water.
• No calorie, not involved in metabolism in human body .

Molecular formula:

Alpha-tocopherol: R1=R2=CH3,
Beta-tocopherol: R1=H, R2=CH3
Gamma-tocopherol: R1=CH3, R2=H
Delta-tocopherol: R1=R2=H,
