Extraction of tocotrienols 10, what is the difference between tocotrienols and triene tocopherols?

Tocotrienols and triene tocopherols are different names for the same substance.

Tocotrienols are a functional component present in palm oil and rice bran oil, and its chemical structure is similar to that of tocopherol.

Tocopherols are important for all kinds of animals at different stages of growth, and they are essential for the optimal functioning of the reproductive, muscular, nervous and immune systems. The so-called vitamin is tocopherol, which has the highest activity, the most widespread distribution and the most representative, so it has been regarded as the key research object of vitamins. However, recent studies have found that tocotrienols have better functions than tocopherols in some cases, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering properties.

These special functions of tocotrienols are related to their own structure, because tocotrienols contain unsaturated side chains, so they can more effectively penetrate into tissues containing saturated fatty acid layers, such as brain and liver, and can also be easily distributed in the lipid layer of the cell membrane, thus playing a good role in antioxidant and free radical scavenging effect.

In recent years, tocotrienols have become one of the hot spots in foreign research, and more and more studies have shown that tocotrienols have unique physiological functions in antioxidant properties, cholesterol reduction, cancer inhibition, etc., and in some aspects have superior physiological functions than tocopherol, indicating that tocotrienols have important value in the prevention and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancer and other medical and health food applications, but there are also differences. Since vitamin E has a synergistic effect with selenium and vitamin C, the synergistic effect of other related factors (such as selenium and vitamin C) should be considered when studying the mechanism and physiological effects of different types of vitamin E in inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and cell proliferation. In addition, it has been found that these properties of tocotrienols are limited to certain tissues, but the exact mechanism of action associated with them is poorly understood, and further research is needed.

China is a big agricultural country, grain and oil resources are very rich, these grain processing scraps contain relatively rich tocotrienols, and for a long time these scraps have not been fully developed and utilized, resulting in serious waste of resources. If you can make full use of these special functional products, it is a better way to comprehensively utilize and proliferate. In future research, it is expected that on the basis of in-depth research on the mechanism of action of tocotrienols, the most appropriate dose and the most appropriate addition form can be obtained to exert their ideal efficacy, and finally achieve the purpose of effective use of tocotrienols in human and animal clinics.
