The influence of the lipophilic external phase on the production of xylan-based microparticles by interfacial cross-linking polymerization has been investigated (Nagashima et al., 2008). Three different external phases were investigated a 1 4 (v/v) chloroform cyclohexane mixture, soybean oil, and a medium chain triglyceride, with viscosities below 1, 24, and 52 cP, respectively. It was observed that the use of these different lipid phases results in different macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the system (Figure 10).

The application of microemulsions in foods is limited by the types of surfactants used to facilitate microemulsion formation. Many surfactants are not permitted in foods or only at low levels. The solubilization of long-chain triglycerides (LCTs) such as edible oils is more difficult to achieve than the solubilization of short- or medium-chain triglycerides, a reason why few publications on microemulsions are available, especially because food-grade additives are not allowed to contain short-chain alcohols (C3-C5). 

Pancreatic enzyme supplements should be taken immediately prior to meals to aid in the digestion and absorption of food. Alternately, patients can supplement their diet with medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) or ingest foods rich in MCTs since they do not require pancreatic enzymes for absorption. An appropriate regimen incorporates the successful doses of each enzyme (amylase, lipase, and protease) from the starting non-enteric-coated regimen. As with the previous example, a patient stabilized on Viokase-8, six tablets with each meal, can be transitioned to Pancrease MT-16 three tablets with meals. The famotidine can then be discontinued.

Type V hyperlipoproteinemia requires stringent restriction of dietary fat intake. Drug therapy with fibrates or niacin is indicated if the response to diet alone is inadequate. Medium-chain triglycerides, which are absorbed without chylomicron formation, may be used as a dietary supplement for caloric intake if needed for both types I and V.

Many other dietary factors have been reported to affect calcium bioavailability. Phytate, fiber, cellulose, uronic acids, sodium alginate, oxalate, fat (only in the presence of steatorrhea), and alcohol have been reported to decrease calcium bioavailability (15). Lactose and medium chain triglyceride increase it (15). FTuoride also affects calcium retention primarily by stimulating bone formation thereby decreasing calcium excretion (33-38). The effects of fluoride on calcium utilization have been variable (34,38,39). 

Differences were found in the PV of Intralipid (LCT = long-chain triglyceride) and Lipofundin (MCT = medium-chain triglyceride) samples. Initial PV in Intralipid (0.02mmol/L) was lower than in Lipofundin (O.lOmmoFL), whereas in the latter the formation rate of PV was slower over time. This behavior is due to the double PUFA content of Intralipid.
