Accessibility Controls

Implementing Organization

Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT)

Project Overview

Tocopherols are natural antioxidants. ?- and g-tocopherols exhibit strong vitamin E and antioxidant activities respectively. Phytosterols exhibit several pharmaceutical and nutraceuticals applications.

Benefits

The process involves
: Esterification and transesterification to convert fatty acids and triglyceride present in Deodorizer Distillate (DOD) of soybean / sunflower oils to fatty acid methyl esters
, Separation of phytosterols
, Enrichment of Tocopherols using short-path distillation
