Product Description
Vitamin E (CAS 59-02-9) - Tocopherol
Vitamin E, also known as tocopherol, is a fat-soluble vitamin encompassing α, β, γ, and δ-tocopherol and α, β, γ, and δ-tocotrienol. As animals cannot synthesize it or may have insufficient nutrient supply, it serves as the most important antioxidant in biological systems.
Key Properties & Characteristics
Vitamin E is soluble in organic solvents such as fats and ethanol, insoluble in water, stable to heat and acid, unstable to alkali, and sensitive to oxygen. While heat-stable, its activity is significantly reduced during frying processes. It naturally occurs in cooking oils, fruits, vegetables, and grains.
