Process by which an agent increases the solubility or the rate of dissolution of a solid or liquid solute.Modified from entry "micellar solubilization" in.
Notes:
- The solute that is solubilized is called the solubilizate.
- Solubilization is sometimes used loosely to include processes caused by agents such as surfactants which hold a component in micelles or colloidal suspension rather than in solution.
