Hi.. The tocopherol used in food is usually produced synthetically, while tocotrienol, although with higher antioxidant ability, is still not produced synthetically... This probably is the reason.

Najoua El Mesomoudi,

Thanks for your kind answer. Can we use tocotrienol in place of tocopherol in food fortification for example in cooking oils?

Indeed, tocotrienol is not stable at high temperatures. Therefore, using tocotrienol for fortification could only be used in foods that are ready to eat, and the source should provide from natural sources, such as palm oil

Konstantinos B. Simoglou and Najoua El Mesmoudi,

Thank you very much for your kind answers and comments.

Is there any derivative of tocotrienol which is stable and can be use in cooking oil, such as alpha tocopheryl acetate is being used as vitamin E
