Trans-resveratrol is known to undergo photoisomerisation under UV and strong light exposure, converting from the biologically active trans-isomer toward the less active cis-isomer. In open blending environments, premix storage, and dry dosage production where light exposure, oxygen contact, and extended handling time are difficult to control, this creates a formulation risk that affects active content integrity before the ingredient reaches the finished product.
