Is the alpha-tocopherol miscible in mineral oil?

11 December 2012 1 4K Report

Tocopherol is miscible with chloroform or ethanol (100 ml/ml),

yielding a clear, colorless to faint yellow solution. It is

also miscible with ether, acetone, chloroform, and

vegetable oils.

But I want to know if it is miscible on mineral oil.

Salah Amasheh

Dear Jurandy, alpha-tocopherol is lipophilic, and therefore is miscible (as it is soluble) in mineral oil.
