ABSTRACT
The experimental data reported in the paper by Cai and co-workers [DOI: 10.1080/00319104.2016.1163560] pertaining to the solubility of myricetin dissolved in binary aqueous–ethanol solvent mixtures has been reanalysed. A correct mathematical derivation is provided for the correlation expression from a combination of the van’t Hoff and Jouyban–Acree models. Cai et al. who used the expression in their study, however, erroneously implied that the expression resulted from a simple transformation of the Jouyban–Acree model. No mention was made that one needed to assume a van’t Hoff-type mathematical representation for how the solute solubility varied with temperature in the two mixture co-solvents.
