conc (mg mL–1) | If | 2b | Tagg (°C) | Ti (Tagg – 2b) (°C) |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.8 | 0.04 | 4.08 | 60.35 | 56.27 |
1.0 | 0.29 | 3.5 | 58.32 | 54.82 |
1.2 | 0.92 | 5.5 | 59.32 | 53.83 |
1.5 | 1.89 | 5.2 | 58.22 | 53.02 |
2.0 | 2.68 | 3.96 | 54.51 | 50.55 |
I = absorbance at any time t; I0 = initial absorbance value or absorbance at t = 0; If = maximum absorbance; Tagg = temperature at which there is 50% maximal light scattering; b = constant; Ti = temperature at which aggregation begins, given by Tagg – 2b.
