- Abstract
One of the major problems regarding the administration of amino acids by intravenous feeding is the use of racemic mixtures that are forbidden by the pharmacological regulations; other current problems is the high cost of obtaining pure amino acids. Because of this, our group has been working in the obtention of L-amino acids (assimilables by living organisms) and ketoacids (used by the body as precursors of racemic amino acid mixtures) in a less expensive and simpler way, with the aim of using these products for different pathologies.
