Question

Which procedure is required for synthesis of vitamin E?

Answer 1

• Vitamin E compounds are derived from 6-chromanol and are biosynthesized naturally in photosynthetic plants algae and cyanobacteria. Biosynthesis occurs from tocochromanols that are formed during the antioxidant activity of plants and this, in turn, happens in association with photosynthesis.

So, the photosynthetic procedure is required for the synthesis of vitamin E.
