Effects of In‐Line Filtration on Lipid Particle Size Distribution in Total Nutrient Admixtures

Abstract

The TNA1 1.2-microns filter significantly reduced the total number and concentration of enlarged fat globules. The higher LD1-LD2 ratio may reflect the effects of filtration on electrically destabilized fat globules. However, total exposure to unstable and very large LDs was significantly reduced, suggesting that in-line TNA filtration should be a standard part of nutrition therapy.
