His concerns include whether such solutions will cause a fever; whether they can be stored for long periods of time without discoloration; the possibility of neutralizing the acidic elements of such solutions; ways to maintain a satisfactory salt content of such solutions; and the issues with removing acid and water after hydrolysis via vacuum.
