TABLE 2.
Uptake of 100-ppm Diacetyl with and without Simultaneous 30-ppm Butryic Acid
Measured uptake efficiencies (%) | |
Butyric acid (alone) | >90 |
Diacetyl (alone) | 36.1 ± 3.7 |
Diacetyl with butyric acid | 30.6 ± 3.5a |
Note. Isolated URT uptake of butyric acid and/or diacetyl vapors was measured at an inspiratory flow rate of 400 ml/min. Data are reported as mean ± SD (n = 6).
Significantly different than diacetyl alone (p < 0.05, t-test).
