| Abstract: | Comparison between the triglyceride Patterns of Human Milk and Infant Milk Formulae Human milk contains less triglycerides with saturated fatty acids than the three infant milk formulae analysed but has a higher content of triglycerides with two unsaturated fatty acids. The patterns of the major triglycerides are compared. In human milk, palmitic acid is preferably located in position 2 favourable to digestability, whereas in the infant milk formulae it is mostly distributed over positions 1 and 3. |
