| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We selected curcumin as poorly water-soluble bio-active compound which is contained in curry powder. We used several β-CD derivatives as co-solvent of curcumin, and enhancement of solubility in water was evaluated by measuring solubilities. These solubility data would be useful for a development of functional foods that efficient absorption of poorly water-soluble bio-active compound is available.
