Abstract
The oxidation products of14C‐α‐tocopherol formed by heating with methyl linoleate in an air atmosphere at 60 C or 100 C were investigated. The products included a dimer, trimer and dihydroxy dimer, α‐tocopherol quinone and unidentified degradation compounds. The dimer and trimer constituted the major products present after heating for 70 hr at 60 C. After 70 hr at 100 C most of the14C‐α‐tocopherol had been converted to degradation products; part of the14C originallt present in the 5‐methyl group was recovered as14CO2and14CH3OH.Keywords
