Usage examples
  • Ainevahe­tuses on E-vitamiinil kaks põhiülesannet: esiteks toimib ta mittespetsiifilise bioloogilise antioksüdandina, teiseks kaitseb lipiide peroksiidide tekkimise eest.
  • Inimesele on põhiline E-vitamiini allikas rafineerimata taimeõli, seda on palju ka lehtsalatis, veidi vähem porgandis ja tomatis. Eriti palju sisaldub E-vitamiini õunaseemneis. Loomsetes toiduainetes on E-vitamiini vähe, v.a maks ja munarebu.
Good to know

Usage examples
  • The content of vitamin E is expressed as mg DL-α-tocopherol acetate per kg. 1 mg DL-α-tocopherol acetate corresponds to 0,91 mg DL-α-tocopherol (vitamin E).
Good to know
  • The term vitamin E should be used as the generic descriptor for all tocol and tocotrienol derivatives exhibiting qualitatively the biological activity of α-tocopherol. This term should be used in derived terms such as vitamin E deficiency, vitamin E activity, vitamin E antagonist.
