The distribution and relative hydrolysis of tocopheryl acetate in the different matrices coexisting in the lumen of the small intestine during digestion could explain its low bioavailability

Scope Vitamin E is present in feed and food mainly as d‐α‐tocopherol (d‐α‐TOL) but also as all‐rac‐α‐tocopheryl acetate (rac‐α‐TAC) through supplementation. Its absorption efficiency is low compared to that of triacylglycerols. The aim of this work was thus to study the fate of TAC during digestion....
