Improved Water-Solubility of Phytosterol by Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin

Article Preview

Abstract:

Phytosterol has been shown to lower the serum cholesterol concentrations, but its low solubility in water restricts its application. In this study, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin was used to improve the water-solubility of phytosterol. Phase solubility study pointed out the formation of 1:1 inclusion complexes between phytosterol and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin. The initial dissolution rate was remarkedly improved in the first two minutes. The suitable solvent and temperature for complex formation was n-butanol and 40°C.
