1) The document discusses the preparation and evaluation of solid dispersions of curcumin and porous starch to enhance the solubility of curcumin.
2) Curcumin is poorly water soluble, so various ratios of curcumin-porous starch solid dispersions were prepared by ball milling.
3) The solid dispersions showed improved flow properties and a 1-2 fold increase in curcumin's solubility compared to curcumin alone. They also exhibited significantly faster drug dissolution.
