Tri Vit E : Food Preservative, Antioxidant, Nutraceutical, Therapeutics, Food Fortification.

Vitamin E has long been renowned for its antioxidant property, and as such, has wide applications in healthcare industry, be it food, health or cosmetic products. Even though the form of Vitamin E that is most commonly found in these applications is the isomer called I -Tocopherol, the Vitamin E family actually consists of eight different isomeric forms, which include:

a cFour isomers of tocopherols ( differentiated as alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol ) &
a cFour isomers of tocotrienols ( differentiated as alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocotrienol )

This means that tocotrienols are one-half of the Vitamin E family tree. And in terms of natural and commercial availability, tocotrienols are often present as high-concentration mixtures. These mixtures, called tocotrienol rich fractions ( TRF ), are natural liquid fractions highly enriched for more than one isomer of tocotrienol. The exact content and ratio of individual tocotrienol isomers may vary depending on the source from which these fraction are derived from ( e.g. from palm, rice bran or annatto ); and the mixture may occasionally also contain tocopherols.
