DL-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate

DL-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate (CAS 133-80-2) is the synthetic ester form of Vitamin E, offering greater stability than free tocopherol for use in fortified products and formulations.

It functions as both a nutritional supplement ingredient and a formulation antioxidant across food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing. In food and dietary supplement manufacturing, it is used to fortify products.

This includes infant formula, meal replacements, and vitamin blends where label-declared Vitamin E content is required. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into oral capsules, softgels, and injectable preparations.

In personal care, it is added to skin creams, serums, and hair care products to deliver antioxidant protection. It also supports the shelf stability of oil-based formulations and prevents rancidity over time.

Animal feed producers use it to supplement livestock and poultry diets, where consistent potency is critical. Oxidative stability during pelleting and storage ensures the nutritional value remains intact for the animals.

DL-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate is supplied as a clear, viscous oil or in dry, powder-dispersible forms. These formats are suitable for solid dosage and dry-blend applications across various industrial sectors.

Standard grades include USP, BP, Ph. Eur., and food-grade specifications. The oil form is typically available at 1000 IU/g potency to meet specific manufacturing requirements for high-quality output.

Feed-grade material is also available, often standardized to specific IU/g activity levels for premix incorporation. This ensures precise dosing and uniform distribution within large-scale agricultural feed production.
