title: Crystallization of sodium taurocholate.
abstract: Success in crystallizing sodium taurocholate from ethanol by the addition of ether is critically dependent on the water content of the system. Two crystalline forms of sodium taurocholate were obtained with melting points of 180 degrees C and 225-235 degrees C respectively.
