Abstract: |
Breast milk fat is a crucial component of breast milk, providing more than half of the energy required for infant growth and development, while also containing various bioactive compounds. Current research primarily focuses on the major components of breast milk fat, such as fatty acids and triglycerides, with limited studies on its trace components. In order to deepen the understanding of trace components in breast milk fat and their functions, provide more comprehensive nutritional recommendations for exclusively breastfed infants, and more references to the upgrading of the manufacture of infant formulas, the types, contents and nutritional functions of phospholipids, fat-soluble vitamins, cholesterol and other trace components in breast milk fat were reviewed. The breast milk fat has important biological functions for infant development, including helping infants to build up immune functions and maintaining brain and bone development, etc.. |
