PURPOSE:To obtain the titled composition having excellent nutrient value and efficiency, by using various fatty acids in balanced amounts in view of their functions. CONSTITUTION:In a glyceride fatty acid composition, the saturated acid com- ponent contains <=20(wt)% acid having <=14 carbon atoms and 10-80% acid having 8-12 carbon atoms, and the unsaturated acid component contains 10- 30% monoenoic acid having 16-18 carbon atoms and 80-10% polyenoic acid having >=2 double bonds and >=18 carbon atoms. The content of a medium-chain fatty acid having 8-12 carbon atoms is 50-80% to compensate the energy consumption and is 10-40% to utilize the physiological action of the polyenoic acid. The monoenoic acid having 16-18 carbon atoms also plays the role to replenish the deficiency of medium-chain fatty acid, and it is necessary to use 40-80% polyenoic acid having >=18 carbon atoms for the improvement of the lipoprotein metabolism. |
