Abstract:
In the present work we studied the ability of phosphate buffer to solubize sterigmatocystin (ST) at different pH values. We observed a higher solubility of ST at acid pH values, specially in pH 4.5. The ST adsorbed to glass was maximum at alkaline pH values.Also we studied the stability of different concentrations of ST in phosphate buffer at different pH values. After 24 h, ST can be considered stable at alkaline, neutral and 3.5 pH values. At pH 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5, ST recovered after 24 h was lower, specially at pH 4.5, when only 44% was recovered. At day 7, ST was stable only at pH 7.5 (91%). The lowest recovery was at pH 4.5 (25%).

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules, atoms, and/or ions)...
