Vitamin E Oil 98% · High-Concentration Tocopherol for Oils, Softgels & Fortified Foods

Key characteristics

• High-vitamin E content: typically around 98% vitamin E on a product basis (exact specification agreed per project).
• Oil-soluble form: supplied as a viscous, oil-based liquid that blends easily into edible oils, margarines, shortenings, nutrition oils and softgel fillings.
• Antioxidant functionality: helps protect unsaturated fats and oils against oxidative rancidity, contributing to flavour, colour and nutritional stability.
• Nutritional value: provides vitamin E activity, supporting on-pack claims such as “source of vitamin E” or “rich in vitamin E”, where permitted and correctly formulated.
• Flexible origin and form: grades based on synthetic or natural vitamin E (e.g. dl-alpha-tocopherol or mixed tocopherols) can be discussed case by case, depending on regulatory and label requirements.

Atlas works with you to select the most suitable type of vitamin E (natural vs synthetic), assay, carrier oil (if any) and certification profile for each project.

Indicative specification points

Exact limits are defined jointly with your QA team, but typical food/supplement grade vitamin E oil 98% parameters include:

• Appearance: clear to slightly yellow, viscous oil, practically free from foreign matter.
• Assay (vitamin E content): usually in the range 97–99% (on an as-is basis), depending on grade.
• Acid value and peroxide value: controlled to ensure oxidative stability and low off-flavour risk.
• Specific gravity and refractive index: tracked for quality control and formulation calculations.
• Heavy metals, contaminants and residual solvents: limited in accordance with food / nutrition ingredient specifications.
• Microbiological profile: generally low due to oil-based nature, verified according to specification.
• Origin and stereochemistry (e.g. dl-alpha vs d-alpha; mixed tocopherols): clearly described in technical documentation and labelling agreements.

Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a detailed technical data sheet. Additional documents (GMO status, allergens, contaminants, Halal/Kosher certificates, etc.) are available on request depending on the selected producer.

Oils, margarines & fat-based systems

• Edible vegetable oils (sunflower, canola, soybean, corn, blends) where vitamin E helps protect unsaturated fatty acids and supports premium positioning.
• Margarines, spreads and shortenings – improves oxidative stability and allows on-pack vitamin E claims when used at the appropriate level.
• Nutrition and specialty oils (e.g. omega-3 blends, infant or medical nutrition oils, where allowed) that need strong antioxidant protection and a clear vitamin E declaration.
• Oil phases of sauces, mayonnaise and dressings in combination with other antioxidants from the Antioxidants portfolio to build a robust oxidative stability system.

Softgels, supplements & premixes

• Vitamin E softgel capsules where vitamin E Oil 98% is the main active in the fill, possibly blended with carrier oils or other fat-soluble vitamins.
• Multi-vitamin softgels in which vitamin E is combined with other fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D and K and/or omega-3 oils (where permitted).
• Oil-based vitamin premixes for use in infant formula, clinical nutrition or specialty products under strict regulatory frameworks.

Fortified foods & snacks

• Fortified bakery and cereal products where vitamin E oil may be introduced via fat phases, coatings or spray applications.
• Coated nuts, seeds and snack mixes where vitamin E contributes to lipid protection and nutritional value.
• Nutrition bars and confectionery using vitamin E-containing fat systems as part of the matrix.

Formulation guidance

• Dosage ranges depend on regulatory limits and nutritional claim targets. Vitamin E is typically present from tens to hundreds of mg per kg or per serving, always within applicable regulations.
• Vitamin E oil is usually incorporated into the oil phase during mixing:
  • add under gentle conditions to avoid unnecessary oxidation,
  • limit exposure to oxygen, high temperatures and light during processing and storage.
• Formulators may use vitamin E together with other antioxidants (e.g. ascorbyl palmitate, rosemary extract, citric acid systems) to build a synergistic stability concept.
• Labelling should clearly indicate the form of vitamin E used (e.g. “dl-alpha-tocopherol” or “mixed tocopherols”), and any natural/synthetic or source claims must be backed by appropriate documentation.
• Regulatory status, maximum permitted levels and nutrition/health claims must be confirmed for each country and product category by your regulatory team.

Quality & documentation

• Supplied as food or nutrition-grade vitamin E oil 98% with agreed specifications for assay, acid value, peroxide value and contaminants.
• Each batch accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) summarising key physical, chemical and microbiological parameters.
• Supporting documentation can include GMO status, allergen statements, contaminants and heavy metal data, BSE/TSE statements (where relevant), natural/synthetic origin declarations and dietary suitability.
• Production facilities typically operate under recognised ISO and food safety management systems. Halal and/or Kosher certificates may be available depending on the selected supplier and grade.
• Customers remain responsible for regulatory compliance, nutrition and health claims, labelling and maximum use levels in each destination market. Atlas provides the technical and regulatory data needed for internal approvals.

Packaging, storage & logistics

• Standard packaging: typically drums (e.g. 20–50 kg) or intermediate bulk containers, with specific packaging options discussed per project.
• Suitable for full-container or mixed-container shipments together with other vitamins, antioxidants, oils and functional ingredients.
• Store in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight, heat and oxygen, preferably under inert gas where required for maximum stability.
• Shipments can be organised under FOB, CFR, CIF or other agreed Incoterms, with export and customs documentation coordinated from Ankara, Türkiye.
