Abstract
This invention provides a novel chromanol glycoside which is a water soluble antioxidant excellent in heat and pH stability and production method thereof. It is a chromanol glycoside represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 independently are a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, R.sup.5 is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, or a lower acyl group, X is a monosaccharide residue or an oligosaccharide residue, providing the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of saccharide residue may be substituted by a lower alkyl group or a lower acyl group, n is an integer in the range of 0 to 4, and m is an integer in the range of 1 to 6.

A chromanol glycoside represented by the formula (1):
- ##STR10## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 independently are selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a lower alkyl group, R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, and a lower acyl group, X is selected from the group consisting of (1) a monosaccharide residue selected from the group consisting of pentose and hexose monosaccharide residues and (2) an oligosaccharide residue selected from the group consisting of oligopentose and oligohexose residues, in which monosaccharide and oligosaccharide residues the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of the pentose or hexose residues may be replaced by a lower alkyl group or a lower acyl group, so as to provide the said residues with a substituent selected from the group consisting of free hydroxy groups, ether groups, and ester groups, n is in the range of 0 to 4, and m is an integer in the range of 1 to 6.
An antioxidant composition having an antioxidative effective amount of a chromanol glycoside represented by the formula (1):
- ##STR11## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, and R.sup.4 independently are selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a lower alkyl group, R.sup.5 is selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, and a lower acyl group, X is selected from the group consisting of (1) a monosaccharide residue selected from the group consisting of pentose and hexose monosaccharide residues and (2) an oligosaccharide residue selected from the group consisting of oligopentose and oligohexose residues, in which monosaccharide and oligosaccharide residues the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group of the pentose or hexose residues may be replaced by a lower alkyl group or a lower acyl group, so as to provide the said residues with a substituent selected from the group consisting of free hydroxy groups, ether groups, and ester groups, n is in the range of 0 to 4, and m is an integer in the range of 1 to 6, and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of water, alcohol, and buffer solution.
