Reservatrol, what would you add it to?
I wanted to make an emulsion with it but I wanted to find out first if it wasn’t compatible with other ingredients. Any tips? What percentage would you use?

It’s not going to do much so I’d use 0.1% (or less). It’s oil soluble so put it in the oil phase.

Resveratrol is NOT soluble in vegetable oils if that’s what you’re thinking of.
In my opinion it’s like adding powdered gold. That’s also insoluble and does nothing. Total waste of time ingredient. -
I see, it’s like making a Churchill martini. You just waive the bottle of vermouth over it and call it a day.

Personally, I’d add it to food
.It’s a nice antioxidant with similar solubility than ferulic acid, partially water soluble, partially oil soluble, and well soluble in diols/glycols and hence ‘better’ than purely oil soluble tocopherol or purely water soluble ascorbic acid.I’d combine it with ascorbic acid to keep it from oxidising and simultaneously protect the oil phase using AA: resveratrol will redox-cycle between AA and oils and therefore, 0.1% will suffice to perform that trick. -
Or drink a glass of wine! @Pharma haha
What’s AA?Ok, I will experiment with .1%. Thanks!
