Formula feed PUFAs

As mentioned earlier, both MCTs and LCTs are used in tube feeding products. Corn, soy, and safflower oils have been the mainstay sources of fat in these products, providing mainly co-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). On the other hand, some newer EN products contain higher quantities of co-3 PUFAs from sources such as fish oil [i.e., docosahexenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentenoic acid or (EPA)]. Still other formulas contain higher quantities of monounsaturated fatty acids from canola oil and high-oleic safflower or sunflower oils. The essential fatty acid (EFA) content (mainly linoleic acid) of EN... [Pg.1518]

Several spedes are of commercial interest for the fish feed industry and as natural sources of PUFAs for health food and infant nutrition formulas. Health food applications focus on products containing eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) while infant formulas contain arachidonic acid (ARA) and DHA as PUFA components. EPA enriched products are mainly based on purified fish oils, whereas ARA and DHA are also produced microbially in an industrial scale. ... [Pg.464]
