“…The CMC may be determined by a number of methods, each giving somewhat different values because they measure different physical properties or perturb the system differently. The methods currently used for studying aggregation properties of bile salt solutions include surface tension (81,96,98,129), dye solubilization (96), light scattering (26,60,72,107), kinetic dialysis (62), NMR spectroscopy (31,57,79), X-ray scattering (31), spectral shifting (37,96), and photon correlation spectroscopy (97). Even the results of a stated method may differ because the techniques are used differently by different investigators.…”
