摘要

The present invention relates to structured triglyceride, to parental nutrition emulsions comprising same, and use thereof. In particular, the invention relates to structured triglycerides comprising at least one medium chain C₆-C₁₂ fatty acid and at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of long chain C₁₄-C₁₈ or very long chain C₂₀-C₂₂ fatty acids, preferably each fatty acid is present in a predetermined position of the glycerol backbone. The parenteral nutrition emulsions are particularly useful for nourishing preterm-and term-infants, children, critically ill patients, and cancer patients.
