Italian term

min. retta

Italian to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
From: min. retta da 30 a 120 min.

It's from a small file on kinetics of hydrolysis. It the header for a column in a table. Could it be "minima retta"?! If so, what would it be in English?

Thank you

Hello,
There's another table above with the following title:
MONITORAGGIO IDROLISI 20/10/97 MEN C PS HMCCM005 (71.7 GR) a 78 ˚C PROVA 93/A
It has the following headings (separated by double slashes):
time (min) // DP // 1/DP // 1-1/DP // In (1-1/DP)˚1000 // In (1-1/DP)˚1000

Before that there are two graphs regarding "cinetica idrolisi"

That's the whole document...

Without more context it's just a guess, but in my opinion here min. refers to minima velocità di idrolisi, which also depends on the DP (degree of polymerization), the viscosity /density of the fluid. Hence, the sentence should be read as: la minima velocità è retta (mantenuta) da 30 a 120 minuti.
Can't you give more context?

Does anyone know if it is "minute line"?
maxbrewster (asker) Jan 16, 2012:
These are the other column headings (separated by double slashes):
DP // 1/DP // 1-1/DP // In(1-1/DP)1000 // min. retta da 30 a 120 min.

Hi, it comes after a couple of graphs, yes. The graph has five columns.

need more context - is it talking about a graph?

Minimum mantained from 30 up to 120 min.

Hello Max.
Hydrolysis is usually checked for 180 minutes (starting from minute 0, of course) and if those graphs are all about hydrolysis kinetics and monitoring I think that's it.

Of course, you may also say minimum speed mantained.
