Patent ID: 8551507

Claim:
A method for enhancing the solubility of an organic compound which is insoluble or sparingly soluble in water, said method comprising mixing said organic compound with water and with a concentration of mogroside V sufficient to increase the solubility of the organic compound in water by a factor of 2 or more above what the solubility would be in water without the mogroside V; wherein the organic compound is selected from the group consisting of diterpenes, quinoline alkaloids, phenylalanine-derived alkaloids, hydrolysable tannins, flavonoids, curcuminoids, phenols, polymeric macrolides, cyclic peptides, sesquiterpene lactones, lignans, flavonolignans, lipids, azoles, dihydropyridines, amiodarones, and riminophenazines, wherein the concentration of mogroside V is from about 1% to about 40% weight/volume.
