solubilized

Rendered into solution

Solubilized means made soluble—converted into a form that dissolves in liquid.

The term appears primarily in scientific and industrial contexts: The enzyme solubilized the protein for analysis.

Pharmaceutical companies solubilize drugs to improve absorption; chemists solubilize compounds to study their properties in solution.
