TOCOPHEROL Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Tocopherols are a class or organic molecules. Many exhibit the activity of Vitamin E. They are commonly found in Olive and sunflower oils.

General Description

Pale yellow, viscous liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

TOCOPHEROL is stable to heat and alkalis in the presence of oxygen, and is not affected by acids up to 212° F. TOCOPHEROL is slowly oxidized by atmospheric oxygen and rapidly oxidized by ferric and silver salts. TOCOPHEROL gradually darkens on exposure to light. .

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for TOCOPHEROL are unavailable, but TOCOPHEROL is probably combustible.

Contact allergens

Tocopherol and tocopheryl acetate are used mainly as antioxidants. Tocopheryl acetate, an ester of tocopherol (vitamin E), can induce allergic contact dermatitis.
