Abstract: The solubilization of cholesterol by β-cyclodextrin(β-CD)in apueous solution was investigated in this paper.The results showed that the solubilization coefficient(St/S0)of cholesterol had a maximal value(about 1.8).By means of linear regression,it was demonstrated that β-CD with cholesterol could form stable ratio of 2∶1 inclusion complex in aqueous solution before maximal solubilization.Accoding to the molecular size-match and polarity the possible, configuration of 2∶1 inclusion complex was envisaged.
