Abstract: |
Human milk is the best food for infants, in which the human milk fat is an important constituent. Human milk fat is not only the main source of energy for infants’ growth and development but also provides a variety of lipid-soluble nutrients. The milk fat in human milk represents a unique form which are milk fat globules instead of completely uniformly dispersed in the whey phase. Milk fat globules are composed of a core rich in triacylglycerol, enveloped by milk fat globules membrane. This structure not only maintains the stability of the emulsion itself, but also provides unique function for the growth and development of infants. Recently, This special structure has attracted extensive attention. The literatures about human milk fat globules at home and abroad were reviewed, mainly including the formation, composition, nutrition and changes during the processing of the human milk fat globules. Research perspective and emphasis in the future were also included. |
