A Model for the Prediction of Osmolalities of Modular FormulasDepartment of Nutrition and Food Science, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida
Department of Chemistry, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida A model is proposed for evaluation of osmolality of multicomponent formulas composed of modular ingredients. Nonlinear curve-fitting techniques applied to empirical data result in prediction of the osmolality of ingredients for any concentration desired. Osmolality of a multicomponent formula can be obtained by adding osmolalities of ingredients. Data handling is made possible by the use of simple microcomputer programs. The model is tested with products available for construction of amino acid-restricted diets. (Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition 10:646-649, 1986)
