EFFECT OF α‐TOCOPHEROL FORMULATIONS ON THE INHIBITION OF NITROSOPYRROLIDINE FORMATION IN MODEL SYSTEMS

The effect of novel water dispersible α-tocopherol mixtures on the nitrosation of pyrrolidine was determined in an oil-aqueous-protein model system consisting of oil, water, protein, sodium chloride and sodium tripolyphosphate. α-Tocopherol dissolved in Polysorbate 20 in ratios of 1:6, 1:1, 1:0.4 and 1:0.2 inhibited nitrosopyrrolidine formation. 500 mg/L of α-tocopherol was found to be the most effective level.
