Tocopherol extracts from vegetable oils |
Additive composition Alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol. Characterisation of the active substance Alpha-, beta-,gamma- and delta- tocopherol:
CAS No:
Tocopherol extracts of natural origin, liquid oily form, produced by extraction from vegetable oils. Purity criteria: total tocopherols min. 30 %. Method of Analysis (1) For the determination of tocopherol forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol) in the feed additive: Gas Chromatography coupled to Flame Ionisation Detection,GC/FID (AOAC 988.14). For the determination of tocopherol forms (alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol) in premixtures and feed: High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to Ultraviolet Detection or Fluorescence Detection, HPLC/UV or FLD (Commission Regulation (EC) No 152/2009(2), Annex IV, method B). |
