Description
The dry powder format of Vitamin E, supplied primarily as 50 percent DL-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate spray-dried on a carrier (silica, starch, or maltodextrin). The format buyers select when they need a free-flowing powder for dry premix manufacturing or feed and supplement applications rather than the tocopheryl acetate oil concentrate.
White to pale yellow free-flowing powder. Contains 50 percent active tocopheryl acetate dispersed on the carrier with antioxidant stabilization. Disperses readily in water and dry blends. Substantially more convenient than the oil form for dry processing operations.
We supply food-grade, feed-grade, and pharmaceutical-grade Vitamin E Powder from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include Vitamin E 50% Feed Grade (silica carrier, the feed-premix workhorse), Vitamin E 50% Food Grade (food-grade carrier for fortified foods), Vitamin E 50% Pharmaceutical Grade (meeting BP/USP/EP specifications), and microencapsulated variants for extended shelf life and pH stability. Natural-source (D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate) powder grades are available at premium pricing.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering assay, peroxide value, carrier identity, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
Vitamin E Powder addresses the practical problem that tocopheryl acetate is an oily liquid that does not blend well into dry premixes and powdered formulations. Spray-drying the oil onto a carrier solid (silica, starch, or maltodextrin) at 50 percent active loading produces a free-flowing powder that flows and meters accurately in dry processing operations.
Industrial production proceeds by combining DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate oil with the chosen carrier and antioxidant stabilizer, spray-drying the mixture to produce uniform powder particles with the active distributed throughout. The 50 percent loading is the standard concentration because it balances active content against carrier loading and flow properties.
Listed in BP, USP, EP, and JP pharmacopoeias as Tocopherol or Tocopheryl Acetate. Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA and the European Food Safety Authority. The 50% Feed Grade powder dominates global animal feed premix manufacturing.
This SKU exists alongside the parent Vitamin E listing and the Series and Oil format SKUs to allow buyers to order specifically against the powder format requirement. The feed premix segment represents the largest single volume application of Vitamin E globally.
Where it is used
