Extraction of alpha-tocopherol from corn
Corn (Zea mays) is fruit that have high concentration of Alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E) in their composition. Alpha-tocopheol is an antioxidant that was used in industries especially pharmaceutical product as a stabilizer, plastic industries, technical oil, and greases. Before extract the Alpha-tocoph...
