Question

Which vitamin is also known as Tocoferol?

• A. Vitamin D
• B. Vitamin B
• C. Vitamin A
• D. Vitamin E

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Vitamin E

Tocopherols are a class of organic chemical compounds (more precisely, various methylated phenols), many of which have vitamin E activity. Because the vitamin activity was first identified in 1936 from a dietary fertility factor in rats. It was given the name "tocopherol" meaning in sum "to carry a pregnancy," with the ending "-ol" signifying its status as a chemical alcohol. α-Tocopherol is the main source found in supplements and in the European diet, where the main dietary sources are olive and sunflower oils, while γ-tocopherol is the most common form in the American diet due to a higher intake of soybean and corn oil.

So the correct option is 'vitamin E'.
