Adam J Smith

If your question concerns dosing, you can create a homogenous suspension using a methylcellulose and tween 80 vehicle. Alternatively, my lab has used corn oil as a vehicle for poorly soluble phytochemicals.

Sujith Subash Eranezhath

@Adam Smith, It is interesting to note pentane soluble components would be soluble in corn oil, can you give some details on how is this done and how can we make sure it is bioavailable. Please also share if any papers are available on details of using corn oil. Thanks!
