Four compounds with saturated tails are tocopherols and four compounds with unsaturated tails are tocotrienols.\u00a0 There are 4 dihydrocoumarin head sections which are acclaimed by one of four substitution patterns and entitled as \u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3, or \u03b4. Gamma-Tocotrienol is one of the types of tocotrienol which is a type of vitamin E<\/a>. In nature, Vitamin E exists in eight forms each of which consisting head section joined to either saturated or unsaturated tail. Gamma tocotrienol is found in high content in palm oil<\/a> and rice bran<\/a> and recent studies shows that tocotrienols acts as an effective antioxidant than \u03b1-tocopherol.<\/p>\n
