Water soluble product with coenzyme Q10, with better bioavailability was prepared. The procedure was already enclosed in the Slovenian patent and the European patent application (COBISS.SI-ID 3281178). In 2006, Slovenian Chamber of Commerce awarded us for this innovation with gold award for innovation (COBISS.SI-ID 3515418, COBISS.SI-ID 3925018). The patent license was sold to the company Valens and the product is sold in thirteen countries. Patent was granted in Russia in December 2009.
F.32 International patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 3281178The procedure for the preparation of food products based on chicken meat enriched with CoQ10. Fortified poultry meat was obtained by optimal industrial breeding of 37.000 chickens, which were fed with fodder enriched with water soluble CoQ10, prepared according to our patent. From this meat different final products were prepared and evaluated.
