Influence of matrix composition on the ternary solubility of cholesteryl esters in supercritical carbon dioxide

Influence of supercritical CO2 pressurization on the phase behavior of mixed cholesteryl esters

“…In previous studies (Huang et al, 2008(Huang et al, , 2009, we have investigated the dissolving behavior of cholesteryl butyrate and cholesteryl benzoate solid mixture in supercritical CO 2 and found that both of the two solutes have become greatly less soluble in the presence of another solute and the solubility compression is heavily dependent on the feed composition used in the SFE process. These unusual dissolving behaviors might be related to the phase transition induced by high-pressurized supercritical carbon dioxide.…”
