ABSTRACT

The solubilities of genistin in pure solvents including tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, isopropanol, n-butyl alcohol, methanol, cyclohexane, n-hexane, chloroform and ethanol were determined by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis method at T = (283.2, 293.2, 303.2, 313.2 and 323.2) K. The fusion enthalpy of genistin was estimated by the group contribution method. The solubility data of genistin were correlated by the simplified thermodynamic model, the modified Apelblat model, kh model and NRTL (Non-Random Two-Liquid) model. The calculated values by all models were in good agreement with the experimental values and however, the NRTL model could give better correlation results than other three models.
