Human milk fat substitutes: Past achievements and current trends

Progress in Lipid Research
Wei WeiXingguo Wang

Abstract

The first commercial infant formula, invented in 1867, contained lipids mainly from cow's milk. We now know that human milk fat differs from the milk fat of other mammals and even more from vegetable oils. Human milk fat is one of the most complex natural lipid mixtures with a unique fatty acid composition, distribution, and numerous complex lipids. Therefore, to mimic human milk fat, human milk fat substitutes (HMFSs) have been produced through the enzymatic/chemical modification of natural lipids. Researchers have become increasingly interested in use of HMFSs as functional lipids due to their nutritional effects on the growth and development of formula-fed infants. This paper discusses the history and recent advances in HMFSs. A comprehensive summary of the composition of human milk fat (fatty acids, sn-2 fatty acids, triacylglycerols, and complex lipids) and its structure (human milk fat globules), as well as the changes during the lactation period. Nutritional bases, preparation methods, and applications of HMFSs (long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, sn-2 palmitate, medium-chain triacylglycerols, and milk fat globule membrane supplements) have been reviewed. Legislation relating to the fat fraction of infant formulae ar...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
