Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between Hydroxytyrosol 10%, 20%, and 40%?
The 10%/20%/40% difference reflects Hydroxytyrosol content measured via HPLC. 20%+ specifications are positioned for EFSA claim territory (5mg/day hydroxytyrosol for olive oil polyphenol claim).
Q2: What is Hydroxytyrosol?
Hydroxytyrosol is a phenylethanoid polyphenol found in olive fruit and olive oil. It is considered one of the most potent natural antioxidants, with ORAC value higher than many common antioxidants.
Q3: Can Olive Extract be combined with other ingredients?
Olive Extract (Hydroxytyrosol) is commonly combined with Resveratrol, CoQ10, and Vitamin E in antioxidant and longevity formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the EFSA claim status?
EFSA approved a health claim for olive oil polyphenols (including hydroxytyrosol) at 5 mg/day for "protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress." Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is Hydroxytyrosol content measured?
Hydroxytyrosol content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection per EFSA-recommended methods or industry-standard methodologies.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 25 kg. Smaller quantities (5-10 kg) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific Hydroxytyrosol content, water-soluble form, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
