In this research, solubility of l-tryptophan in water,
methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, n-butanol,
acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, organic pure solvent, and in three binary
mixed solvents (water + acetonitrile), (water + methanol), and (water
+ isopropanol) at the temperature range of T = 278.15–333.15
K was determined with the gravimetric method. The experimental results show that the solubility
of l-tryptophan in the above solvents increased as temperature
rose, and it achieved the highest dissolution efficiency in water.
The improved Apelblat model, the Buchowski–Ksiazaczak λh model, the Redlich–Kister (CNIBS/R–K) model,
and the Jouyban–Acree model were used to nonlinearly fit the
experimental data of solubility, and the consistency was good. The
physicochemical information of l-tryptophan provided in this
report may be helpful for its extraction/separation, recrystallization,
purification, and formulation development.
