Abstract:
A method of rendering organic compounds containing at least one hydrophilic group soluble in fatty systems, said method comprising forming a chemical complex between the organic compound and a carrier selected from the group consisting of fatty acid esters of polyhydric hydroxyalkanes having the general formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1 is H or --CH.sub.2 OR.sub.5, R.sub.2 is H or --CH.sub.2 OR.sub.6, and each of R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 is independently a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid moiety having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms or a saturated fatty acid moiety having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, with the proviso that at least one of R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 is a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid moiety having from 4 to 30 carbon atoms, and at least one or, when any of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is not H, at least two of R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 is a saturated acid moiety having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
