Genome mining for production of nutritionally rich palm oil

The vitamin E in palm oil contains high proportion of tocotrienol (70% tocotrienols and 30% tocopherols) while most other vegetable oils contain only tocopherols. Both tocopherols and tocotrienols are strong chain-breaking antioxidants. The interest in tocotrienols escalated when the other medicinal...
