title: Solubility of fructose in water-ethanol and water-methanol mixtures by using H-bonding models.
abstract: The solubility of fructose in water-ethanol and water-methanol mixtures and the saturated density of each solution at 20, 30, and 40 °C over a range of water mass percentage have been measured. Also, a new modification of the Wilson model has been proposed to describe solubility data satisfactorily. The H-UNIQUAC and H-NRTL models were applied and a comparison between these 3 models was carried out. These 3 models were used to estimate the experimental data which was reported in this study. The comparison of the results showed that the H-Wilson model has the lowest AAD% between these 3 models in correlating the solubility data and the saturated density.
