Comparison of the experimental and predicted values of SM-Lip-SEDS under predicted optimum conditions

Measured responses Predicted values Experimental values Bias (%)
Y1 (size) 168.21 nm 160.50 nm 4.80
Y2 (EE) 92.29% 91.38% 0.99
Y3 (DL) 4.65% 4.73% −1.72

Note: Bias was calculated as (predicted value – observed value)/predicted value ×100%.

Abbreviations: SM, silymarin; SEDS, solution-enhanced dispersion by supercritical fluids; EE, encapsulation efficiency; DL, drug loading.
