Are there any others who are also working on the natural extraction of tocotrienols?

The poster should first introduce the manufacturing processes of your factory and such.

It is still in the stage of gathering information and studying the shortcomings of various processes. . . I want to avoid a true distillation tower – it’s too labor-intensive and not worth the effort. Are you doing this as well, upstairs?

The name of this product is quite special and weird. Could the original poster explain what this product is used for? I’d like to know

Tocotrienols are functional components found in palm oil and rice bran oil, with a chemical structure similar to tocopherols. In recent years, studies have shown that it possesses superior physiological functions compared to tocopherols. This article mainly introduces its chemical structural characteristics, physiological functions and mechanism of action, as well as its clinical therapeutic effects. 　　Vitamin E is very important for various animals at different stages of growth, and it is essential for the optimal functioning of systems such as reproduction, muscles, nerves, and the immune system. The vitamin commonly referred to is alpha-tocopherol; it possesses the highest activity, is most widely distributed, and is the most representative, which is why it has always been the focus of research on vitamins. However, recent studies have found that tocotrienols possess superior functions in certain cases compared to α-tocopherol, such as antioxidant, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering properties. These special functions of tocotrienols are related to their structure; due to the presence of unsaturated side chains, they can penetrate more effectively into tissues containing layers of saturated fatty acids, such as the brain and liver. They can also distribute more easily within the lipid layers of cell membranes, thereby exerting an excellent antioxidant effect and helping to eliminate free radicals. At present, foreign countries have conducted relatively in-depth research on it, while there is less research in our country. 　　

I was interested in this project 5 years ago; at that time, the idea was to extract it from rice bran oil. But it was later discontinued due to distillation issues. A better method is molecular distillation, but the equipment is difficult to obtain. At that time, I contacted several equipment manufacturers as well as universities; either the process parameters were not suitable, or the price of the prototype units was too high. I’ve heard that CO2 supercritical extraction is also used; I’m not sure if it’s reliable. This product is indeed excellent; its antioxidant activity is 50 times higher than that of vitamin E. If the resources permit, it’s worth developing!

Could you briefly explain its uses and functions?

Japan produces a lot of rice bran oil, but the polyphenols extracted from palm oil are currently the subject of the most in-depth research. Could you please explain in detail your manufacturing process at that time?
