S. Keki et al., INVESTIGATION OF THE MICROPRECIPITATION OF FOLIC-ACID FROM SLIGHTLY ACIDIC INJECTION SOLUTIONS USING DYNAMIC LIGHT-SCATTERING, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 46(8), 1998, pp. 1333-1334
Microprecipitation of folic acid was monitored by the dynamic light sc
attering (DLS) method. The pH was changed by CO2 absorption and additi
on of HCl. The folic acid solutions were examined over the pH range 8.
5-4.0. Over the pH range 5.4-6.0, microprecipitation was observed and
at pH less than or equal to 5.2 crude precipitation of folic acid occu
rred. The dependence of the effective diameter on the pH over the pH r
ange 5.4-6.0 is also reported.
