A liquid chromatographic (LC) method was developed for determination of tocopherols and tocotrienols in foods. Tocopherols and tocotrienols were released after saponification of test portions for 40 min at 80 degrees C, followed by extraction with hexane-ethyl acetate. After evaporation of the organic solvents, the extract was injected in the LC system. Separation of individual tocopherols and tocotrienols was satisfactory. Some interferences were encountered from tocomoneols, tocodienols, 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA), 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, (BHT), and plastochromanol-8. The response of the LC system was linear over a range of 0-10 micrograms/mL for tocopherols and tocotrienols. The detection limit for these compounds was 0.1 micrograms/mL. Repeatabilty relative standard deviation values for tocopherols and tocotrienols in margarine, infant formula, and broccoli (concentration range, 0.11-22 mg/100 g) varied from 1.3 to 6.4%. Recoveries ranged from 91 to 105%.

The high content of vitamin E, including tocopherols and tocotrienols (TCF-TTE), in palm oil () has made it a promising candidate for the alternative treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). However, the limited solubility of TCF-TTE has restricted its therapeutic efficacy. In this study, pluronic-based micelles (MCs) encapsulating palm oil-derived TCF-TTE were formulated with dissolvable microarray patch-micelles (DMP-MC) using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) synthesized from empty fruit bunches of palm to optimize its delivery for AD.

Vitamin E is an essential nutrient, but its poor water solubility limits food and pharmaceutical applications. The usability of vitamin E can be enhanced via modification methods such as encapsulation, which transforms the physical state of vitamin E from a liquid to a powder. This study examined the efficacy of near-infrared (NIR) and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy in identifying and predicting various vitamin E derivatives in vitamin E-encapsulated powder (VEP).

Naturally occurring vitamin E is a lipophilic plant-derived molecule corresponding to the 2 R forms of alpha-tocopherol. A series of natural analogs or tocochromanols are present in nature, including β-, γ- and δ-tocopherol (βT, γT, δT), the corresponding tocotrienols (αTE, βTE, γTE, δTE) and tocomonoenols. Differences between these analogs as lipophilic antioxidants and modulators of molecular processes suggest specific therapeutic properties against various disorders associated with acute and chronic inflammation.

Silica-based monoliths offer higher separation efficiency per unit pressure drop compared to particle-packed columns. Their application is limited by the commercial availability of different column chemistries. Pentafluorophenyl ligands enable hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, π-π, and hydrophobic interactions, facilitating the separation of various compounds.
