Description

Dehydro-δ-Tocopherol is a chemically modified derivative of vitamin E, specifically a dehydro form of the δ-tocopherol isomer. This compound is valued for its enhanced antioxidant properties and stability profile compared to some natural tocopherols, making it a critical intermediate and active ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and high-performance cosmetic industries for research, synthesis, and product development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key synthetic building block for novel vitamin E analogs and prodrugs.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in the development of specialized antioxidant formulations with targeted activity.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into anti-aging serums, creams, and stabilizer systems for its protective benefits.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies of lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress, and tocopherol metabolism.
• Food & Beverage Stabilization: Acts as a potent antioxidant in high-value food preservation applications.
• Industrial Antioxidants: Used in the formulation of stabilizers for polymers, lubricants, and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Dehydro-δ-Tocopherol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided.
