A leading nutraceutical manufacturer specialising in premium dietary supplements required a nano-emulsion of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to improve absorption in a turmeric-based liquid formulation. The formulation included CoQ10 powder, xanthan gum, polyglycerol monostearate, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, MCT oil, sunflower lecithin, and water.
To meet product performance requirements, the customer specified a target droplet size of 0.2 microns (200 nanometres). Achieving this level of dispersion represented a major technical challenge and placed strict demands on the upstream mixing and homogenisation process.
