A-96.1 | Rapid content uniformity test of 6 batches of Coenzyme Q10 in soft gel capsules by HPTLC Coenzyme Q10, found naturally in the body, is involved in the production of body energy. Thus heart, lung and liver have the highest concentration of Q10. The substance is active in many ways but primarily assumed to enhance the immune system and to work as an antioxidant protecting against free radicals that damage cells. Coenzyme Q10 is an expensive material. As dietary supplement it is mostly sold in soft gelatin capsules. For quality control of such products the CUT (content uniformity test) and the assay are of high interest. |
