Preparation, Characterization, Solubility, and Antioxidant Capacity of Ellagic Acid-Urea Complex

Ellagic acid (EA), a natural polyphenol found in berries, has high antioxidant capacity. This study aimed to improve EA solubility by complex formation with urea (UR) using solvent evaporation method and evaluate its solubility, antioxidant capacity, and physical properties. The solubility test (25...
