A Highly Stabilized Hydroxytyrosol Cocrystal

Through cocrystal design and screening, we discovered a cocrystal form of hydroxytyrosol with niacinamide. Crystal HT® is available as water soluble white powder with excellent powder flowability. It shows great chemical stability because of high melting point and low hygroscopicity. Crystal HT® can be used in functional foods and dietary supplements in the form of tablets, capsules, energy bars and functional beverages.
