Neuberg in 1916, enhances solubility without altering a drug's UV measurement range and is known for its eco-friendliness, stability, and scalability. Co-solvency modifies the solvent environment using solvents like ethanol but poses environmental concerns. Hydrotropy is safer and more scalable, though it requires more additives, while co-solvency is cost-effective but presents toxicity and precipitation risks. The environmental and safety benefits of hydrotropic solvents align with global sustainability initiatives like the UN SDGs. A case study comparing two UV methods (one with organic solvents and another with hydrotropic solvents) showed hydrotropy's superiority in sensitivity, stability, and sustainability, achieving a sustainability score of 71 % versus 29 % for methanol.
