Abstract
A new preterm formula (PT-F), with a fat composition more resembling human milk showed a relative decrease in total fat absorption compared to the former PT-F (78% vb 88%), in 4 weeks old orally fed preterm infants. to investigate individual fatty acids (FA) coefficients of absorption(CA), 13 3-d stool collections were analysed for the GC FA spectrum in each PT-F group. Group A received a 40/60 MCT/cornoil mixture, group B received a coco/soy/oleic mixture. CA:%, intake + excretion:mg/kg.dConcl: Higher fat excretion on PT-F B is not only due to increased intake of LCT, but also to lower CA of saturated FA. Remarkably, C18:3w3 absorption is lower with MCT/cornoil.
