We developed the model of the formation of polymorphic crystals in solution based on the standard kinetic nucleation model. Our model was applied to crystallization of α and β forms of L-glutamic acid (Lglu). Numerical solution of kinetic equations at various temperatures showed that small nuclei (< 40 nm) can dissolve with time in consequence of supersaturation decrease. Thus the nucleation rate, in contrast with the classical nucleation theory, can reach negative values (dissolution of small nuclei). In some cases, the total decay of small clusters occurs, which is in agreement with the Ostwald rule of stages.
