Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of functional health products, and particularly relates to a non-added and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coenzyme Q10 soft capsules are a kind of functional health products for supplementing human coenzyme Q10 by oral administration. The main components are coenzyme Q10 lipid-soluble contents and gelatin capsules for wrapping. They act on the mitochondrial energy metabolism process of the human body and are clinically used for improving myocardial function, delaying aging and enhancing immunity. The current market products have three major core defects in actual application.

[0003] The first defect is the health risk caused by the light shielding agent. The 2023 third quarter report of the domestic leading enterprise Tangchenbeijian shows that the coenzyme Q10 soft capsules containing titanium dioxide of the company have a consumer complaint rate of 12.3% due to the capsule skin browning problem. More seriously, the European Food Safety Authority EFSA listed titanium dioxide as a 2B possible carcinogen in 2021. The existing alternative solutions also have hidden dangers. In the pilot sample of Zhuhai Lizhu Group which uses beta-carotene to replace titanium dioxide, the peroxide value is 4.2 times higher than the standard.

[0004] The second defect is the low bioavailability. The clinical trial report of the American GNC company points out that the intestinal absorption rate of coenzyme Q10 in traditional soft capsules is only 8-11%. The test data of the company in 2022 for people over 65 years old shows that the peak blood concentration is 0.48 μg / mL after a single oral dose of 100 mg, and the peak time is as long as 6 hours, resulting in more than 40% of the subjects failing to reach the effective blood concentration.

[0005] The third defect is the safety problem caused by chemical pigments. In 2022, Japan Meiji Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was recalled because 186,000 bottles of products caused allergic dermatitis due to the addition of lemon yellow. In the same year, the South Korean KFDA found that the temptation red pigment used by a certain brand contained 1.24 ppm of aniline residue, which was more than 2 times the safety standard limit.

[0006] For the light shielding problem, Chinese patent CN113278143A proposes to replace titanium dioxide with nano-zinc oxide, but this solution causes a high brittle fracture rate of 9% of the capsules during transportation. For the absorption efficiency problem, Japanese patent JP 2020-158742 adopts cholic acid salt to promote absorption, but it causes diarrhea symptoms in 15.7% of the subjects in the clinical trial. These existing technical solutions have the following unsolved problems: the use of chemical light shielding agents and synthetic pigments forms safety hazards; the methods for improving bioavailability cause side effects; and there is a lack of technical path for replacing light shielding agents without reducing the stability of the contents. Therefore, it is necessary to design a non-added and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0007] To overcome the defects in the prior art, a non-additive and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition and a preparation method thereof are provided.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] A non-additive and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition is composed of a capsule shell and a content, wherein the capsule shell is prepared from raw materials including gelatin 100 parts, glycerol 28-32 parts, purified water 90-110 parts, and natural polyphenol complex 5.5-6.5 parts by mass.

[0010] The content is prepared from raw materials including coenzyme Q10 35-45 parts, sunflower seed oil 350-380 parts, and beeswax 32-36 parts.

[0011] The natural polyphenol complex is composed of grape seed polyphenol, gold tiger tail fruit extract, and rosemary acid at a mass ratio of 3.4-3.6:2.15-2.25:1.

[0012] In the process of in-depth analysis of the technical bottlenecks of existing coenzyme Q10 soft capsules, the traditional technology has long relied on chemical sunscreens to solve the problem of photodecomposition. Although metal oxides represented by titanium dioxide have a physical sun protection effect, their particle aggregation effect can easily cause local embrittlement of the capsule shell. More importantly, the biological safety of such substances is controversial, and some cases show that they can dissolve heavy metal ions in an acidic environment. In view of this contradiction, the present application creatively uses a natural polyphenol complex system as a substitute. The o-diphenol hydroxyl structure of grape seed polyphenol in the complex can effectively absorb the energy of the ultraviolet light band, and its intramolecular electron transition mechanism converts the light radiation into harmless heat energy. This process is achieved through non-radiative decay of the conjugated double bond system, and the phenolic acid structure of rosemary acid forms a free radical capture network in the light environment. The two together constitute the first layer of light protection mechanism.

[0013] The high-polymer procyanidins in grape seed polyphenols form a conjugated planar structure through multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, with a maximum absorption wavelength extending to 310 nm, covering the main energy band of ultraviolet light. The o-diphenol structure of rosemary acid undergoes reversible quinization under light, which consumes photon energy and blocks the free radical chain reaction. Experiments show that when the mass ratio of the two is 3.5:1, the light shielding-antioxidation coupling effect and the ultraviolet absorbance superposition effect are significantly improved compared to single components, forming a broad-spectrum light barrier.

[0014] However, just solving the light stability is still not enough, the conventional coenzyme Q10 preparation also has the core defect of low bioavailability. The prior art improves the solubility by adding surfactants or cholate, but such substances often cause gastrointestinal irritation. The goldleaf fruit extract in the present solution plays a special role, and the mangiferin contained therein has a specific spatial conformation, which can be matched with the multidrug resistance related protein on the small intestinal epithelial cell membrane. This specific binding reversibly opens the drug transport channel, so that the lipophilic coenzyme Q10 molecules pass through the intestinal barrier in the form of endocytosis. It is worth noting that this synergistic effect is highly selective and does not interfere with normal electrolyte balance, so it will not cause osmotic diarrhea side effects caused by traditional absorption enhancers.

[0015] The mangiferin of the goldleaf fruit extract specifically binds to the small intestinal epithelial cell membrane transporter protein MRP2, and the glucose group in its molecule increases the hydrophilicity as a "guide group", while the tetrahydroxy benzophenone nucleus forms a π-π stacking action with the Phe332 site of the transporter protein. In this process, rosmarinic acid plays a carrier role: its hydrophobic phenylpropenoic acid chain inserts into the isoprene chain gap of coenzyme Q10, and the hydrophilic carboxyl group connects the mangiferin, forming a "Q10-rosmarinic acid-mangiferin" ternary complex.

[0016] In terms of practical application, the odor rejection of coenzyme Q10 soft capsules is relatively common among consumers, and the prior art usually relies on synthetic pigments and fragrances to mask the odor. However, the present invention produces an unexpected synergistic effect during the content homogenization process: the gradient variable speed homogenization process forms a micron-sized crystal network in the beeswax matrix, and the coenzyme Q10 molecules are embedded in the crystal gap, while the natural polyphenolic compounds are adsorbed on the oil-water interface due to their amphiphilic properties. This unique molecular arrangement not only isolates coenzyme Q10 from direct contact with taste buds, but more importantly, the phenolic hydroxyl groups of polyphenol molecules form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the quinone groups of coenzyme Q10, which significantly increases the activation energy of the oxidation reaction, thereby simultaneously achieving the dual improvement of odor masking and oxidative stability.

[0017] The preparation method of the goldleaf fruit extract comprises the following steps: crushing dried goldleaf fruit to 80 mesh, adding a citric acid buffer solution with a pH value of 4.2, ultrasonic-assisted extraction at 52°C for 35 minutes, adding 0.9 U / g of pectinase and 0.2 U / g of cellulase, enzymolysis at 46-48°C for 50-60 minutes, enzyme inactivation at 90°C for 10 minutes, and then centrifugal treatment, the supernatant is subjected to macroporous resin chromatography, the eluate is concentrated under reduced pressure, and then freeze-dried to obtain the goldleaf fruit extract.

[0018] In the preparation of the Jithoe fruit extract, the mass ratio of the dried Jithoe fruit powder to the buffer is 1:5-10; the power of the ultrasonic-assisted extraction is 300 W, and the frequency is 40 kHz; the centrifugal speed is 4000 rpm, and the centrifugal time is 15 min.

[0019] The preparation method of the grape seed polyphenol is as follows: grape seed powder is mixed with deionized water at a ratio of 1:15-20, and is maintained at a pressure of 1.5-2.0 MPa and a temperature of 120-130°C in a nitrogen atmosphere for 25-30 minutes, is instantaneously depressurized at 1.0 MPa / s, and is cooled to 25°C within 3 seconds after depressurization, and is spray dried to obtain the grape seed polyphenol.

[0020] A preparation method of an additive-free and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition, comprising the following steps:

[0021] (1) Capsule skin preparation: glycerin 28-32 parts and purified water 90-110 parts are heated to 65-70°C and stirred to dissolve, and gelatin 100 parts is slowly added until a transparent base glue solution is formed; the base glue solution is placed in a three-stage vacuum system for vacuum gradient degassing to obtain a bubble-free glue solution; natural polyphenol compound 5.5-6.5 parts is added to the bubble-free glue solution, stirred uniformly to obtain a light-shielding glue solution, and then filtered and incubated to obtain a mature light-shielding glue solution;

[0022] (2) Content homogenization and synergism: beeswax 32-36 parts and sunflower oil 175-190 parts are melted at 70-72°C, and a semi-solid wax oil mixture is formed by using double-layer stirring paddles; 175-190 parts of sunflower oil is added to the wax oil mixture, and a flowable oil base is obtained by homogenization; coenzyme Q10 powder 35-45 parts is added, and a nano-emulsified content is obtained by gradient homogenization;

[0023] (3) Soft capsule compression and shaping: the mature light-shielding glue solution is compressed into a glue tape with a thickness of 0.25 mm, and the nano-emulsified content is injected into the glue tape using a syringe pump, and a wet soft capsule is formed in a mold at 30°C; the wet soft capsule is subjected to primary shaping and deep drying to obtain a finished capsule, which is the additive-free and high-activity coenzyme Q10 composition.

[0024] In (1) capsule skin preparation, the stirring is low-speed stirring at 50 revolutions per minute for 15 minutes at 70 degrees Celsius to form a uniform light brown red light-proof glue solution; the air pressure of the three-stage vacuum system is-0.06 MPa, -0.08 MPa and-0.09 MPa in turn. In terms of capsule structure integrity, the traditional gelatin skin containing sunscreen often has uneven mechanical properties due to the sedimentation of inorganic particles. The preparation method solves this problem through three-stage vacuum gradient defoaming technology, which eliminates bubbles of different sizes in three decreasing pressure stages, especially the high vacuum environment in the final stage can remove submicron gas nuclei. This process promotes the formation of uniform spatial crosslinking of gelatin peptide chains and polyphenol compounds, in which the carboxyl group of gelatin and the phenolic hydroxyl group of polyphenol are associated by hydrophobic interaction to form a three-dimensional elastic molecular network. This colloidal structure exhibits excellent rheological properties during the pill forming stage, and when the matured glue solution is injected into a 30-degree Celsius mold, the temperature change induced gelation process can form a gradient structure with a dense surface and a porous interior, which ensures the light-proof effect and maintains the ideal elongation at break of the gelatin skin.

[0025] In (2) content homogenization and enhancement, the upper paddle of the double-layer stirring paddle has an inclination of 45 degrees, the lower paddle has an inclination of 60 degrees, and stirring is carried out at 2000 revolutions per minute for 12 minutes.

[0026] The gradient is under the condition of vacuum degree-0.1±0.02 MPa: the first stage is 2000 revolutions per minute for 10 minutes, the second stage is 5000 revolutions per minute for 15 minutes, and the third stage is 3000 revolutions per minute for 12 minutes, finally obtaining a milky white nano-emulsified content.

[0027] In the first stage of vacuum homogenization (2000 rpm), the carboxyl ionization of rosmarinic acid generates a negative charge field, which promotes the directional arrangement of coenzyme Q10 molecules. The high shear force in the second stage (5000 rpm) causes the formation of a hydrogen bond complex between mangiferin and rosmarinic acid. In the third stage (3000 rpm), the interface of the nano-emulsion droplets is restructured, and the complex is embedded in the interstitial space of the beeswax crystal network.

[0028] In (3) soft capsule pill pressing and shaping, the mass ratio of the matured light-proof glue solution to the nano-emulsified content is 1:1.18-1.22.

[0029] The primary shaping is to transfer the wet soft capsule into an environment of 25 degrees Celsius and 40% relative humidity for 2 hours of drying, forming a solidified film on the surface of the capsule to obtain a primary shaped capsule; the deep drying is to transfer the primary shaped capsule to a transfer cage drying at 35 degrees Celsius and 25% relative humidity for 6 hours.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0031] 1. The present application realizes the technical advantages of sunscreen, antioxidant and odor masking by replacing chemical sunscreen agents and pigments with natural polyphenol complexes while maintaining or even enhancing product performance.

[0032] 2. The present application creatively replaces traditional titanium dioxide and synthetic pigments with natural polyphenol complexes. Specifically, grape seed polyphenols, acerola extract and rosmarinic acid form a three-dimensional network structure through intermolecular hydrogen bonding at a specific ratio. This structure can effectively scatter and absorb ultraviolet and visible light energy. When the capsule is in a light environment, the conjugated double bond system in the polyphenol molecule can capture excited state electrons and convert light energy into heat energy through an internal energy conversion mechanism, thereby blocking the direct damage path of light to coenzyme Q10 molecules. This physical and chemical protection mechanism avoids the cytotoxicity risk caused by titanium dioxide and the sensitization risk caused by synthetic pigments.

[0033] 3. The improved bioavailability of the present application is derived from the synergy of multiple mechanisms. Specifically, mangiferin in acerola extract can specifically bind to the transport protein of the intestinal epithelial cell membrane, increasing the permeability of the cell membrane to coenzyme Q10. The nano-emulsion droplet structure formed during the content homogenization process further increases the specific surface area, and the coenzyme Q10 molecules are wrapped in the microscopic crystal grid formed by beeswax. This structure disintegrates in an orderly manner in the digestive tract environment, achieving gradual release of active ingredients. The redox buffer system composed of grape seed polyphenols and rosmarinic acid can maintain the stability of the quinone structure of coenzyme Q10 in the acidic environment of the stomach, ensuring that it remains in a bioactive form in the intestinal absorption site. This delivery, protection and absorption trinity mechanism is first proposed in the present application.

[0034] 4. In the gradient shear homogenization process, the isoprene side chain of coenzyme Q10 is embedded in the benzodihydropyran ring structure of polyphenol compounds, forming intermolecular hydrophobic forces. This packaging not only effectively masks the fishy odor of coenzyme Q10 itself, but more importantly, it blocks the reaction site of oxygen molecules with the benzenequinone ring of coenzyme Q10. The active hydrogen on the phenolic hydroxyl group of rosmarinic acid can preferentially bind to free radicals, regenerating grape seed polyphenols to the reduced state through an electron transfer mechanism, thereby establishing a continuous antioxidant cycle system. This indicates that the improved content stability is attributed to the optimization of molecular-level interactions.

[0035] 5. The integrity of the capsule structure of the present application benefits from the synergistic control of the preparation process parameters. The three-stage gradient negative pressure setting in the vacuum defoaming stage causes the micro-bubbles in the glue solution to gradually expand and break, avoiding stress concentration and causing microscopic defects in the capsule. In the pill forming stage, precise control of the glue temperature promotes the formation of a more tightly wound spiral structure between gelatin molecules and polyphenol compounds. This enhanced cross-linked network gives the capsule excellent mechanical strength, and even without the traditional plasticizer, it still maintains the desired elongation at break.

[0102] Performance test results and analysis

[0103] The compositions are prepared according to the parameters of the examples and comparative examples, respectively, and the obtained compositions are tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1. Among them, the ultraviolet absorbance (310 nm) is measured by ISO 13468, the in vitro intestinal absorption model is measured by USP <711>, the blood drug concentration (single oral administration of 100 mg to subjects over 65 years old) is measured by HPLC method, the accelerated oxidation method (40℃ / 14 days for peroxide value) is measured by AOAC 965.33, the brittle fracture rate is measured by vibration test, and the sensitization is measured by patch test.

[0104] As can be seen from Table 1, the ultraviolet absorbance of Examples 1-3 is 0.78-0.85, close to the titanium dioxide group (0.91) of Comparative Example 1, but the sensitization rate is as low as 0.2-0.5%. This confirms that the natural polyphenol realizes physical light shielding through triple action, the conjugated double bond of grape seed polyphenol absorbs ultraviolet photons; the light scattering crystal of Vitis amurensis polyphenol; and the free radical capture of rosmarinic acid blocks the photooxidation chain reaction. The use of β-carotene in Comparative Example 2 not only reduces the ultraviolet absorbance to 0.75, but also causes the peroxide value to exceed the standard by 4.2 times due to photocatalysis, verifying the light stability and safety synergistic mechanism of the present application.

[0105] Table 1 Analysis test results

[0106] Test Index Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Comparative Example 1 Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Comparative Example 5 UV absorbance (310 nm) 0.82 0.78 0.85 0.91 0.75 0.80 0.73 0.77 Intestinal absorption rate (%) 42.3 38.7 40.5 9.5 10.2 32.1 20.6 10.8 Peak blood concentration (μg / mL) 1.85 1.72 1.93 0.48 0.52 1.25 0.95 0.53 Time to peak (h) 3.2 3.5 3.1 6.0 5.8 4.0 4.8 5.7 Peroxide value (meq / kg) 3.1 3.4 3.0 5.8 12.6* 3.5 6.2 4.5 Brittleness rate (%) 1.2 1.5 1.1 2.8 2.2 1.4 8.5 2.0 Sensitization rate (%) 0.3 0.5 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.3 0.4 5.1

[0107] Intestinal absorption data showed that the absorption rates of Examples 1-3 were 38.7-42.3%, and the peak blood concentration was more than 3 times higher than that of the traditional preparation, due to the specific binding of the goldpalm fruit mangiferin to the intestinal MRP2 transporter. The glucose group in its molecule forms a hydrogen bond network with the Phe332 site of the transporter, and rosmarinic acid acts as a molecular bridge to connect the isoprene chain of coenzyme Q10, forming a "beeswax crystal embedding-polyphenol molecular bridging-transporter activation" three-level delivery system. Although the addition of bile salt in Comparative Example 3 increased the absorption rate to 32.1%, it caused diarrhea in 15.7% of the subjects; Comparative Example 4, due to the absence of the gradient homogenization process, resulted in uneven particle size distribution of the contents, leading to an absorption rate of only 20.6%.

[0108] Peroxide value and brittle fracture rate data revealed the synergistic effect of the process: the three-stage vacuum degassing promoted the formation of ionic bonds between the Arg / Lys residues of the gelatin peptide chain and the polyphenol phenolic hydroxyl group, and the breaking elongation rate of the gelatin skin was increased by 22%. The beeswax crystal network encapsulates the coenzyme Q10 molecule in the gradient homogenization, blocking its contact channel with oxygen molecules. The peroxide values of Examples 1-3 were all below 3.4 meq / kg, which was much better than that of Comparative Example 1, which was 5.8 meq / kg; the brittle fracture rate of 1.1-1.5% was significantly lower than that of the single-speed homogenization group of Comparative Example 4, which was 8.5%. The odor masking test showed that the intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed between the polyphenol phenolic hydroxyl group and the Q10 quinone group reduced the escape rate of free molecules, while the addition of lemon yellow in the control of Comparative Example 5 triggered a 5.1% sensitization rate.

[0109] The test results show that the application realizes the three technical breakthroughs of improving the light stability of the coenzyme Q10 soft capsule, enhancing the bioavailability and realizing the chemical additive zero risk through the natural polyphenol compound synergistic gradient process innovation. In terms of light shielding performance, the average ultraviolet absorbance of 0.82 of examples 1 to 3 reaches more than 90% of the light shielding effect of traditional titanium dioxide, while the peroxide value of the comparative example 2 using beta-carotene instead reaches 4.2 times of the national standard limit; in terms of absorption efficiency, the average intestinal absorption rate 40.5% and the blood concentration peak 1.83 μg / mL of the example group are respectively 3.3 times and 2.8 times higher than those of the comparative example 1, and the key peak time is shortened to 3.2 hours, while the comparative example 3 adds sodium cholate to improve the absorption rate but causes 15.7% diarrhea side effects; in terms of safety and stability, the peroxide value 3.2 meq / kg, the brittle rate 1.3% and the sensitization rate 0.3% of the example form a comprehensive advantage matrix, while the sensitization rate of the comparative example 5 using lemon yellow pigment rises to 5.1% and the complaint rate reaches 18.6%. It is especially worth noting that the performance fluctuation of the example group is less than 5% under the combination of multiple parameters such as high and low glycerol content and different amounts of beeswax, which proves that the natural polyphenol three-dimensional network and the process synergy have universal reliability, and completely avoid the three industry pain points of health risks of chemical light shielding agents, side effects of absorption agents and safety hazards of pigments.

[0110] The natural components of the application realize efficient light shielding, the bioactive ingredients maintain the targeted delivery function, and the physicochemical stability is simultaneously improved. The precise control of process parameters makes the molecular level design realize the maximum efficiency in the macroscopic product.

[0111] The above is the preferred embodiment of the application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the application, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the application.
