Learn More About Synthetic Vitamin E Process Plants

Synthetic vitamin E, commonly referred to as dlalpha-tocopherol or all-rac-alpha-tocopherol, is a mixture of eight alpha-tocopherol stereoisomers in equal amounts. Only one of these stereoisomers, 12.5% of the total mixture, is RRR- or d-alpha-tocopherol, the natural form. The remaining seven stereoisomers have different molecular configurations due to the chemical randomization in the manufacturing process.

Synthetic vitamin E derived from petroleum products is manufactured as all-racemic alpha tocopheryl acetate with a mixture of eight stereoisomers. In this mixture, one alpha-tocopherol molecule in eight molecules are in the form of RRR-alpha-tocopherol (12.5% of the total).[25]

The 8-isomer all-rac vitamin E is always marked on labels simply as dl-tocopherol or dl-tocopheryl acetate, even though it is (if fully written out) actually dl,dl,dl-tocopherol. The present largest manufacturers of this type are DSM and BASF.
