β¦ Synopsis
Coenzyme Q and Q contents in 35 food items were determined and coenzyme Q intake of Finns was estimated. The analytical method employed direct solvent extraction or saponi"cation before extraction and quanti"cation using high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with diode array detection. Intakes of coenzymes Q and Q were estimated using the determined values and food consumption data from a national dietary survey. Contents of coenzymes Q and Q in foods varied from 157.9 g/g to below the detection limit and from 8.5 g/g to below the detection limit, respectively. Average intakes of coenzyme Q were 5.4 mg/day (men) and 3.8 mg/day (women) while daily intakes of coenzyme Q were 0.6 mg (men) and 0.4 mg (women). Coenzyme Q was primarily obtained from meat, poultry, "sh and rapeseed oil. Cereals were the major source of coenzyme Q .
