Name of osmolyte	% decrease in extent of Catalase aggregation^*
Name of osmolyte	α-casein alone	α-casein with 50 mM	α-casein with 100 mM	α-casein with 250 mM	α-casein with 500 mM	Osmolyte alone^**
Glycerol	48	44	43	41	41	04
Sorbitol	48	45	44	43	43	03
Glucose	48	44	43	42	42	02
Sucrose	48	49	50	50	51	13
Glycine	48	43	41	41	40	0

β-alanine	48	42	41	40	40	03
Taurine	48	41	30	24	14	22

^*Error observed from triplicate measurements were in the range of 3–5%. **The measurements in case of osmolyte alone were carried out at highest concentration only.
