This invention provides albumin preparations with safety and without any
risk of side effects, which are free from viruses or contaminating
proteins and can be stably stored over a long time while showing neither
changes in appearance nor decrease in content.There are provided a
stabilized albumin preparation produced by uniformly mixing a
medium-chain fatty acid or a salt thereof and a sulfur-containing amino
acid or a derivative thereof with an aqueous albumin solution (e.g., a
buffer such as phosphate buffer which can be administered as
pharmaceutical preparations, injection water, or a physiological saline)
and dissolving them therein, and then processing the mixture solution
into a formulation suitable for parenteral administration such as an
intravenous fluid preparation or an injectable solution, and a
stabilization method for an albumin preparation.
