Chemical Information
FooDB Namegamma-Tocopherol
DescriptionOccurs in many nut and other vegetable oils such as soya and sunflower oil. It is used as antioxidant food additive. Member of Vitamin E group. Added to fats and oils to prevent rancidity. The naturally occurring tocopherol is a single steroisomer; synthetic forms are a mixture of all eight possible isomers [DFC] gamma-Tocopherol is one of the chemical compounds that is considered vitamin E. As a food additive, it has E number E308. [Wikipedia]. gamma-Tocopherol is found in many foods, some of which are common pea, shiitake, feijoa, and other bread.

Classification
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tocopherols. These are vitamin E derivatives containing a saturated trimethyltridecyl chain attached to the carbon C6 atom of a benzopyran ring system. The differ from tocotrienols that contain an unsaturated trimethyltrideca-3,7,11-trien-1-yl chain.
