Answer 2

Answer:

The melting point is the right answer.

Explanation:

• Low melting point lipophilic excipients are the most commonly used conventional suppository bases.
• The melting point of theobroma oil (cocoa butter) is below the human body temperature.
• Due to its low melting point, it is the most commonly used fatty acid base.
• The suppository base should have properties such as melting at rectal temperature, dissolving or dispersing in body fluids, and its shape should remain intact during handling, non-toxic and non-irritating.
• Theobroma oil (cocoa butter) has a low melting point and thus it is used as a suppository base because of all these properties.
