Description
D-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate 50% Powder is a food-grade Vitamin E ingredient manufactured according to EP 11.0 standards. It is supplied as almost white, yellowish, or light brown small particles with good handling properties for dry blending and nutritional formulation applications.
This product provides natural-source Vitamin E activity in the stable acetate form. Compared with free tocopherol, tocopheryl acetate offers improved stability in formulation, making it suitable for dietary supplements, functional foods, nutrition powders, premixes, and other food-grade applications where Vitamin E fortification is required.
The product is tested for identification, assay, loss on drying, particle size, heavy metals, and microbiological quality according to EP methods.
