Oleic acid: geraniol or cinnamyl alcohol hydrophobic mixtures: thermophysical properties and quercetin solubility

The low solubility of drugs and nutraceuticals in water decreases their bioavailability, which poses a serious challenge to the biotechnology industry. To improve this, several mixtures have been proposed. Here, the solubility and antioxidant capacity of quercetin in binary mixtures of oleic acid wi...
