(b) Prior Art Tocopherols are contained in many oils and fats, usually in a content of 1% or less, and are widely used in medicines as vitamin E and in foods as antioxidants. Tocotrienol, which has three double bonds in its side chain, is known as a substance related to tocopherol, and various studies have revealed that it has the same effects as tocopherol, and at the same time, it has also been found to have properties that compensate for the shortcomings of tocopherol. As a result, the importance of tocotrienols is expected to increase.

多くの油脂はトコフエロール類のみを含有する

Many fats and oils contain only tocopherols, but tocotrienols coexist with tocopherols in palm oil, rice bran oil, wheat germ oil, etc.

The behavior of tocotrienols is strikingly similar to that of tocopherols, so it is difficult to industrially produce high-purity concentrates of tocotrienols or tocopherols from these oils, which inevitably results in high processing costs. .
