The tocopherols and tocotrienols of vegetable oils, cod liver oil, margarines, butter and Voimariini dairy spread were analyzed by HPLC. The total tocopherol content varied from 4 (coconut oil) to 242 mg/100 g (wheat germ oil). α‐tocopherol equivalents varied from 2 (coconut oil) to 225 mg/100 g (wheat germ oil). Semisoft and soft margarines had an average total tocopherol of 53 and 61 mg, and an average α‐tocopherol equivalent of 17 and 27 mg/100 g, respectively. Hard margarines averaged 29 mg total tocopherol and 9 mg α‐tocopherol equivalent/100 g. The average tocopherol content of butter and Voimariini was 2 and 15 mg/100 g, respectively, and the average α‐tocopherol equivalent 2 and 6 mg/100 g.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
