The aqueous solubility of bioactives plays a significant role in dietary, food, cosmetic, biopharma and drug formulations.  Poor solubility is one of the biggest hurdles in developing these formulations as well as a desired therapeutic effect. It is well proven that more aqueous soluble means rapid absorption which leads to greater bioavailability in the body thereby decreasing the dosage of actives to a larger extent. The beverage industry suffers a lot from the unavailability of natural solubilizers.  Moreover, the cosmetic industry couldn’t use some of the phytoactives in their formulations due to nonaqueous solubility, even though they possess excellent biological activity.

AquaD™ is Semi-Phyto Universal Solubilizer (SPUS) and scientifically known as Diosgenin Polyethylene glycol succinate is a water-soluble form of naturally occurring Diosgenin. AquaD™ solubilizes and enhances the bioavailability of herbal extracts, phytochemicals, and cosmetic ingredients. It also enhances the stability of phytochemicals which are susceptible to light, heat, and ariel oxidation. It is suitable for a wide range of applications such as mouth-dissolving strips, effervescent granules, topical applications, and other product types.
