“…There is a modest body of literature concerning the nucleation mechanism of small molecules such as inorganic salts, organic salts, − and proteins . The induction period may be determined either by visual observation, measurement of turbidity, or measurement of any concentration-dependent property which varies sufficiently in the course of the crystallization process such as conductivity, ,,− intensity of transmitted or scattered light, ,− pH, heat released, , and activity of precipitated ions . However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study on the induction period of asiaticoside or madecassoside and their nucleation or crystal growth mechanisms.…”
