Abstract:Caffeic acid is a polyphenol compound with low solubility in water. This study aims to prepare and characterize multicomponent crystals of caffeic acid, using tromethamine as a coformer, to enhance the dissolution rate without lessening its antioxidant effect. Multi-component crystals were prepared by the solvent-drop grinding method. The mole ratio of caffeic acid to tromethamine was 4:6 based on the results of a binary phase diagram showing that it had a eutectic point after which multi-component crystals we… Show more
