There is high demand for tocols (tocopherols and tocotrienols) as standard reference materials in scientific analyses as well as medical research. In addition, many other industries use them, such as cosmetics and nutraceuticals. The high demand for tocols has boosted its price. While tocopherols are readily available from both natural and synthetic sources, the supply of tocotrienols is more limited. Tocols can be obtained from palm oil as it is gifted with an abundance of these valuable compounds. Following extraction and purification, the end product is a range of high purity tocopherol and tocotrienol isomers. Quality control measures are taken to ensure the stability, reliability and homogeneity of the products.
