“…Moreover, establishing an appropriate method for analysing total parenteral nutrition (TPN) products, administered mostly for critically ill patients is crucial due to the chemical complexity of its components, particularly in lipid content. 1,2 For instance, analytical techniques in analysing fatty acids (FAs) in food and pharmaceutical products has evolved through the recent years from using gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) methods 3–9 to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods 10–19 due to the higher sensitivity of the MS detectors, 20,21 giving a better estimate of FAs present in the analyte of interest.…”
