Coenzyme Q

XVI. The Estimation of the Coenzyme Q10 Content of Alfalfa

Robert E. Erickson, Donald E. Wolf and Karl Folkers

Merck Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories, Rahway, New Jersey

The coexistence of coenzyme Q10 with plastoquinone in commercial alfalfa meal has been confirmed, and the content of coenzyme Q10 was found to be ca. 28 mg/kg. The preparation and storage of commercial alfalfa meal can lead to retention of essentially all of the coenzyme Q10 of growing alfalfa since the content of coenzyme Q10 of the freshly collected plant was ca. 3.4 mg/kg; this value is reasonably consistent with the water content of the green plant.

Manuscript received 27 January 1960.
