Natural vitamin E is preferred over the synthetic vitamin E in food, feed & pharmaceutical applications mainly due to its higher LD. It can be isolated from deo-distillates, using molecular distillation technology. Deo-distillates are obtained at the time of refining edible oils.
Similarly, sterols (vitamin D2) can be separated from the same deo-distillates by cool - crystallization technology. Vitamin D2 replaces expensive Vitamin D3 in food and feed applications.
After the seperation of tocopherols and sterols from deo-distillates, the free-fatty acids can be trans-esterified to produce bio-diesel, which is again a value-addition. At the time of making bio-diesel, Glycerine is also separated.
