Notes:
Both alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are degraded by Fe2+ and Cu2+. Ascorbic acid and EDTA completely inhibit the Cu2+ oxidation but only ascorbic acid completely prevented the Fe3+ oxidation although EDTA and citric acid gave some protection. On the other hand pure tocopherols, undiluted, were stable to air and light over a period of years.
