Abstract:
Synthetic lipid composition in which the content and the distribution of the fatty acids are mimic those of human milk fat, characterized in that:it contains less than 2% by weight of free fatty acids,the fatty acids of the triacylglycerols comprise, by weight:about 35 to 55% of saturated fatty acids, among which 18 to 36% of palmitic acid, 2 to 40% of caprylic and capric acids, at most 10% of lauric acid and at most 10% of myristic acid,about 30 to 45% of monounsaturated fatty acids,about 9 to 22% of polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which less than 2% of long-chain n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids comprising arachidonic acid and less than 1% of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids comprising docosahexaenoic acid and the n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio is 5:1 to 15:1, andpalmitic acid is predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols and arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are distributed between the 1-, 2- and 3-positions of the triacylglycerols.
