β-Sitosterol Solubility in Selected Organic Solvents

Abstract

β-Sitosterol solubility in five solvents including methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and n -hexane has been determined experimentally by a static analytical method at various temperatures ranging from (278.15 to 333.15) K. The compositions of β-sitosterol in saturated solution were analyzed by UV spectrometry. The solubility of β-sitosterol is represented by a best-fit equation for each solvent.
