Wheat germ oil

Wheat germ oil (CAS 68917-73-7) is a cold-pressed or solvent-extracted vegetable oil derived from the germ fraction of wheat kernels. It is among the richest natural sources of tocopherols. This makes it a commercially significant ingredient for formulators requiring natural antioxidant and skin-conditioning activity across multiple sectors. In personal care, it is used in facial serums and body oils.

Its tocopherol content supports shelf-life extension of finished formulas while delivering moisturizing performance. Food and nutraceutical manufacturers use it as a dietary supplement ingredient and functional oil. It is often found in softgel capsules or as a fortifying addition to specialty foods targeting vitamin E enrichment. Pharmaceutical formulators include it as an excipient in topical preparations and oral bases.

In animal nutrition, it is added to premium feed formulations to support antioxidant status and coat condition in companion animals. The oil is supplied as an amber to dark yellow liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Bulk tanker options are available for larger volumes. Standard commercial grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with refined and unrefined variants available depending on application requirements.

Certificates of analysis typically reference tocopherol content, acid value, and peroxide value as key quality parameters. Our material meets rigorous industry benchmarks for purity and performance in industrial use.
