Olive oil: Excellent carrier for Q10

Kaneka Pharma Europe featured various ways of incorporating its coenzyme Q10 into functional food applications at Food Ingredients Europe late last year. One of these was Olisana K-Young, an extra virgin olive oil developed by Costa d’Oro. The company says olive oil serves as a good matrix for optimal Q10 bioavailability with huge market potential for products fortified with Q10. The Kaneka powder is tasteless, odorless and crystalline for use in functional food applications. A lipophilic and water-insoluble variant is optimal for use in lipid matrices such as those found in olive oil. The Olisana K-Young olive oil with Q10 is currently available to importers and supermarket chains.
