Effect of an aqueous phase on the solubility of cholesterol in an oil phase
In the absence of water, the solubility of cholesterol in triolein at 21°C was 2.8%. When water was added to the system, the solubility of cholesterol in the oil phase decreased to 1.9%, and cholesterol monohydrate precipitated. The precipitation of the sterol evidently resulted from the excess conc...
