Patent ID: 8758743

Claim:
A coenzyme Q10-containing composition comprising: a coenzyme Q10, and a hydrophilic fatty acid ester of a polyhydric alcohol, wherein said hydrophilic fatty acid ester of the polyhydric alcohol comprises an ester of monoglycerol with a fatty acid and an organic acid, wherein the organic acid is selected from the group consisting of citric acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid and diacetyltartaric acid, and the fatty acid is selected from the group consisting of stearic acid, caprylic acid and oleic acid, wherein said ester of monoglycerol with the fatty acid and the organic acid has an HLB of 8 or more, wherein the total content of the coenzyme Q10 and the hydrophilic fatty acid ester of the polyhydric alcohol is from 1 to 60% by weight, wherein the amount of the hydrophilic fatty acid ester of the polyhydric alcohol is from 40 to 3,500 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the coenzyme Q10, and wherein the composition is emulsified or solubilized in an oil-in-water droplet form.
