Comment to "The pharmacopeial evolution of Intralipid injectable emulsion in plastic containers: from a coarse to a fine emulsion".

The droplet size distribution of 50 batches of multi-chamber bags containing the parenteral nutrition emulsions Intralipid (Kabiven and Kabiven Peripheral) or Structolipid (StructoKabiven and StructoKabiven Peripheral), respectively, has been investigated. The results show that the non-compounded lipid emulsions analysed are in compliance with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) chapter 729, Method II limit for the droplet size distribution, PFAT(5)<0.05%.
