Request SDS →Mixed tocopherols (Vitamin E; CAS 10191-41-0) are a concentrate of tocopherol isomers used primarily as an antioxidant. They protect fats, oils, and oil-rich foods and feedingstuffs against oxidation and serve as a nutritional additive in animal feeds, foods, and dietary supplements. They also function as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient in cosmetics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mixed tocopherol oil?
Mixed tocopherol oil (Vitamin E; CAS 10191-41-0) is a liquid concentrate of tocopherol isomers used primarily as an antioxidant. It protects fats, oils, and oil-rich foods and feeds against oxidation and serves as a Vitamin E nutritional and cosmetic ingredient.
What are mixed tocopherols made from?
Mixed tocopherols are typically concentrated from vegetable-oil sources, yielding a blend of alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherol isomers. RawSource supplies them as an isomer concentrate; request the CoA for the isomer profile and tocopherol assay of a given lot.
Are mixed tocopherols used as a preservative?
Yes, in the technical sense that mixed tocopherols function as an antioxidant, slowing oxidative rancidity of fats and oils in foods, feeds, and oil-rich formulations. They are widely used as an oil-soluble antioxidant additive; we make no claims beyond this established antioxidant function.
What is mixed tocopherol oil used for?
It is used as a food antioxidant protecting fats and oils against oxidative rancidity, as an antioxidant and nutritional additive in animal feeds, as a Vitamin E source in fortified foods and supplements, and as an antioxidant and skin-conditioning ingredient in cosmetics.
How is bulk mixed tocopherol oil packaged and ordered?
RawSource supplies mixed tocopherol oil in bulk packaging such as drums and totes/IBCs to food, feed, supplement, and cosmetic manufacturers. Pricing depends on tocopherol concentration and volume, so submit a bulk quote with your target assay; a CoA and SDS accompany each shipment.
