Abstract

The cyclodextrin (CD) solubilities in various solvent systems are discussed. The erroneous aqueous solubility-temperature equations have been substituted with simpler ones. The new equations calculate the CD solubilities in water more accurately. Re-calculation of the literature data of organic solvent-water mixtures from molar fractions to volume percentage of organic solvents resulted in a more user friendly data.
