Nutraceuticals Research

Stability studies may evaluate:

• Appearance, physical properties and moisture
• Assay, marker/bioactive content and degradation products
• pH and dissolution
• Microbial quality
• Packaging compatibility

Testing depends on the product, formulation and intended storage conditions.

Analytical Characterization

Analytical evaluation may include:

• Active ingredients and bioactive constituents
• Marker compounds, vitamins and phytochemicals
• Degradation products and contaminants

Techniques: HPLC | HPTLC | GC/GC-MS | UV-Visible Spectroscopy | Other Suitable Methods

Nutraceutical Product Development Workflow

Ingredient Characterization → Standardization & Analytical Evaluation → Preformulation → Compatibility Studies → Dosage-Form Selection → Formulation Development → QbD/DoE Optimization → Product Characterization → Stability Evaluation → Packaging Considerations → Scale-Up.

Challenges We Address

• Poor Solubility and Low Dissolution
• Poor Stability and Bioactive Degradation
• Unpleasant Taste/Odor
• Ingredient Incompatibility
• Batch-to-Batch Variability
• Poor Bioavailability
• Moisture Sensitivity and Oxidative Instability
• Difficult Standardization and Dosage-Form Challenges

Nutraceuticals & Advanced Delivery

Advanced delivery technologies may help address specific formulation challenges:

• Poorly Soluble Bioactives: Nanoemulsions, nanoparticles or phytosomes
• Unstable Bioactives: Encapsulation or liposomal delivery
• Short Residence Time: Mucoadhesive or controlled-release systems
• Unpleasant Taste: Encapsulation or taste-masking technologies
