Vitamin E Powder 50% · Spray-Dried Tocopherol for Premixes & Fortified Foods
Vitamin E Powder 50% is a spray-dried, free-flowing form of vitamin E, designed for use in dry blends, premixes and powdered food and nutrition products. It enables formulators to incorporate vitamin E into cereal products, bakery goods, dairy powders, infant and clinical nutrition (where permitted), nutrition drinks and dietary supplements, while maintaining good flowability, handling and dosage accuracy.

Vitamin E Powder 50%: composition, carriers & benefits
Vitamin E Powder 50% is typically produced by spray-drying an emulsion of vitamin E oil with suitable carriers, resulting in a free-flowing powder that can be accurately dosed, blended and transported in standard dry ingredient handling systems.
Key characteristics
- Spray-dried tocopherol (vitamin E) with approx. 50% active content on a product basis, offering a balance of potency and handling performance.
- Free-flowing powder suitable for dosing with screw feeders, volumetric feeders and premix systems, reducing segregation risks compared with pure oil.
- Good dispersibility in water-based systems, depending on carrier and agglomeration; supports applications in powdered beverages and dairy powders.
- Carriers may include carbohydrates, proteins, emulsifiers or other approved ingredients to create a stable matrix around the vitamin E droplets.
- Antioxidant and nutritional functionality: contributes to protection of fats and oils and supports vitamin E nutritional claims when correctly formulated and labelled.
Atlas works with selected producers to match vitamin E form (dl-alpha or mixed tocopherols), carrier system, particle size and flow properties to your premix and production requirements.
Indicative specification points
Detailed specifications are agreed project-by-project. Typical vitamin E Powder 50% parameters include:
- Appearance: white to light yellow, free-flowing powder or granules, with neutral odour.
- Assay: approx. 50% vitamin E (as alpha-tocopherol or equivalent, depending on grade).
- Particle size: optimised for low dust, good flow and homogeneous blending (e.g. fine powder or agglomerated granules, depending on the application).
- Loss on drying: controlled to maintain stability and flowability over shelf life.
- Bulk density: specified to support accurate volumetric dosing and premix design.
- Carrier composition: clearly described in the technical data sheet to support label declaration and allergen assessment.
- Microbiological profile and contaminants: aligned with food, infant or nutrition ingredient requirements as relevant to the application.
Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and supporting documents (e.g. GMO, allergens, contaminants, dietary status, origin) as needed by your QA and regulatory teams.
Vitamin E Powder 50% in premixes, cereals, bakery, dairy & nutrition
Vitamin E Powder 50% is designed for systems where dry blending, premix manufacture and powder handling are central to the process. It is widely used in vitamin premixes, cereal and bakery applications, dairy powders, infant and clinical nutrition (where permitted) and food supplement formulations.
Premixes & dry blends
- Vitamin–mineral premixes for use in breakfast cereals, bakery, dairy, snacks, beverages and nutrition products, where vitamin E is combined with other vitamins and minerals from the Vitamins & Nutritional Enhancers range.
- Bakery improver blends where vitamin E is present as a nutritional component alongside ascorbic acid, enzymes and emulsifiers from the Emulsifiers and Enzymes portfolios.
- Fortification premixes for oils and fats where vitamin E powder is incorporated into coating or powder systems to deliver vitamin E to the finished product.
Cereals, bakery & snacks
- Breakfast cereals and cereal bars – vitamin E premixes are added to cereal bases, coatings or syrups to support fortification claims.
- Bread, buns and rolls – recipes that require vitamin E fortification or marketing differentiation can incorporate vitamin E powder through tailored premixes.
- Snacks and extruded products – vitamin E is introduced via seasonings, coatings or core blends, often together with other vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Dairy powders & powdered beverages
- Milk powders and dairy blends – vitamin E Powder 50% can be used as part of a vitamin premix system for fortified dairy powders.
- Powdered beverage mixes – such as chocolate drinks, malt beverages and functional drink powders, where vitamin E is added alongside sweeteners, acidulants and flavours from the Flavorings group.
Infant, clinical & special nutrition (where permitted)
- Infant formula and follow-on formula – vitamin E is an essential nutrient in many regulatory frameworks. Grades for these uses must meet specific purity, stability and documentation requirements defined by local regulations.
- Medical and clinical nutrition – vitamin E Powder 50% may be part of tailored premixes used in medical nutrition products, subject to strict regulatory and quality controls.
- Specialised dietary foods – e.g. foods for specific medical purposes, where vitamin E levels and purity must be tightly controlled.
Formulation guidance
- Dosage levels are determined by target vitamin E content per serving, local regulations and desired claims (e.g. “source of vitamin E”).
- Because the product contains ~50% active vitamin E, formulators must adjust dosage calculations accordingly and account for process and storage losses.
- Vitamin E Powder 50% is typically blended as part of a premix added early in the dry blending step, ensuring homogeneous distribution across the batch.
- To optimise stability, it is important to manage temperature, moisture, oxygen exposure and storage conditions, and where needed to combine vitamin E with other antioxidants from the Antioxidants portfolio.
- Regulatory teams must confirm legality, maximum levels, vitamin retention factors and claim wording in each destination market and product category.
