Composição lipídica para formulação infantil e método de preparação

摘要

New synthetic lipid composition containing fatty acids similar in constitution to those in human milk comprises ≤ 2 wt.% free fatty acids. The fatty acids are present as triacylglycerols comprising (wt.%): (a) saturated fatty acids (35-55) (especially palmitic acid (18 - 36), caprylic and capric acid (2 - 40), lauric acid ( ≤ 10) and myristic acid ( ≤ 10); (b) mono-unsaturated fatty acids (30 - 45); and (c) polyunsaturated acids (9 - 22) containing ≤ 2% long chain, n-6 chain comprising arachidonic acid and ≤ 1% polyunsaturated acids with n-3 chain comprising docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) the ratio of n-6:n-3 being 5:1 - 15:1. Also claimed is an infant formula comprising: lipids (50 - 100 wt.%) as above; proteins (optionally hydrolysed); carbohydrates; and optionally vitamins and trace elements (lipid content is 15 - 35%, calculated as dry weight).
