Effects of phospholipid (PL) and ApoA-I on curcumin solubility.

Components* Solubilization efficiency (%)
Curcumin + PL + ApoA-I 70
Curcumin + PL 60
Curcumin + Buffer only 9
*

The individual components were added to PBS and processed as described in Materials and Methods. Sample containing curcumin, PL and ApoA-I yielded curcumin-ND.

Solubilization efficiency (%) = the amount of curcumin in supernatant after centrifugation ÷ curcumin added to the incubation × 100.
