Tocotrienols in Bleached Thai Rubberseed Oil

Abstract

Tocopherol analysis of bleached Thai rubberseed oil in dicated the presence of α-, β-, and δ-tocotrienols in the oil at 30, 165, and 4 μg/g, respectively.
The tocotrienol composition of rubberseed oil, with a higher content of linolenic acid, should prove useful for detecting rubberseed oil in edible vegetable oils.
