METHOD OF PRODUCING REDUCED COENZYME Q10 USING SOLVENT WITH HIGH OXIDATION-PROTECTIVE EFFECT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a commercial method of conveniently and efficiently producing reduced coenzyme Q10having high quality which is useful in foods, functional nutritive foods, specific health foods, nutritional supplements, nutrients, drinks, feeds, animal drugs, cosmetics, medicines, remedies, preventive drugs, etc. SOLUTION: In the method of synthesizing reduced coenzyme Q10by reducing oxidized coenzyme Q10, followed by crystallization, at least one species selected from among hydrocarbons, fatty acid esters, ethers and nitrites is used as a solvent. Thus, the reduced coenzyme Q10can be protected from oxidation, and as a result, the formation of the oxidized coenzyme Q10as a by-product can be minimized, and thus reduced coenzyme Q10having excellent quality can be produced.
