13'-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol - Introduction
Nature:
13 '-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol is a yellow to orange-yellow colorless crystalline solid. Its melting point is about 201-204 degrees Celsius, and its solubility in organic solvents is better. This compound is stable in air, but undergoes light and thermal decomposition. It is fat-soluble and dissolves in adipose tissue.
Use:
13 '-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol has antioxidant properties and can be used as a nutritional supplement. It is widely added to health products, pharmaceutical products and cosmetics to protect cells from free radical damage. In addition, it can also be used as a preservative in food processing.
Method:
13 '-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol can be prepared by oxidation of natural α-tocopherol. A common method is to heat the reaction in an organic solvent using an oxidizing agent such as oxygen or hydrogen peroxide. The product produced in this process was purified and crystallized to give 13 '-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol in pure form.
Safety Information:
According to the available literature, 13 '-Carboxy-alpha-tocopherol is considered to be relatively safe under general conditions of use. However, care should be taken to prevent inhalation of dust or contact with skin and eyes during use and processing. In case of inadvertent inhalation or contact, wash the affected area immediately and seek medical advice. In addition, relevant regulations and guidelines should be followed if necessary.
