Abstract

Vitamin E is one of the four fat-soluble vitamins that is made naturally in plants. It is one of the necessary vitamins for humans and animals, and the body needs it because it cannot manufacture it. It works to preserve polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUSFA) outside and inside cells in the body and prevents free radical formation reactions resulting from respiratory and respiratory processes and through exposure to toxic external factors such as pollutants. Its deficiency leads to many, Vitamin E comes from plant elements that are in the form of tocopherols, which are compounds that possess the activity of vitamin E. They are in the form of yellow fats that do not dissolve in water, but they do dissolve in organic solvents. The name (Tocopherol) is derived from a Greek word, where “Tocos” means childbirth and Phero from Bear. These words mean the producer of offspring or offspring and are linked to his main role in reproduction in various types of animals. The OL from alcohol is evidence that it is an alcoholic substance.
