Micellar entrapment method for curcumin.
Curcumin was solubilized with octenylsuccinated corn dextrin micelle up to 4.44 μg/mL.
Solubilization of curcumin in the micelles was dependent on IP, DS and MW.
Curcumin solubilized in the micelles was in an amorphous state.
The lyophilized curcumin-loaded micelles are easily reconstituted with water.
