A soybean oil emulsion for parenteral nutrition has been stored for about 2 years at 4, 20 and 40°. During storage, the pH fell and the FFA concentration increased. The Michaelis‐Menten constant (Km) and the maximum velocity of the lipoprotein‐lipase reaction (Vmax) also increased. Gross particles were formed in the fat emulsion, and its toxicity increased with time. All these changes were most pronounced during storage at 40°.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
