    Abstract:

    Triacylglycerols in human milk are important for infant lipid digestion and absorption. Previous research by our group has shown that human milk is naturally rich in medium- and long- chain triacylglycerols (MLCT). MLCTs are the most abundant triacylglycerols in human milk, accounting for about 30% of the total triacylglycerols, and the main structure of MLCT is a single medium chain (MLL) type triglyceride with one medium-chain fatty acid and two long-chain fatty acids. There are few medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT) in human milk. The content, composition and influencing factors of MLCT in human milk, and the differences between human milk and infant formulas are reviewed in this paper. The digestive and metabolic characteristics of MLCT are summarized, as well as the research progress of MLCT type human milk substitute fat. The research would provide theoretical basis for the development of infant formula.
