“…Pancreatic lipase degradation of TAGs was extensively applied in the TAGs structure studies [47][48][49]. Experimental data reveal an asymmetric structure of the hybrid palm oil TAGs, thus suggesting that the length of carbon chain and the number of double bonds could constitute discriminating factors in the acylation steps.…”

Nutritional guidelines and environmental issues are adversely affecting palm oil's image among consumers. However, hybrid palm oils are currently receiving increasing attention because of their interesting chemical characteristics and nutritional properties. Interspecific hybridization Elaeis oleifera × E. guineensis (O×G) has been originally exploited with the main aim of developing disease-resistant varieties. However, available literature data contribute to reinforcing the idea that interspecific hybrid O×G palm oil could be a potential substitute for other vegetable oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (i.e., high oleic sunflower and safflower oils). The chapter aims to review current knowledge on various aspects of hybrid palm oil chemical composition (fatty acids, triacylglycerols, partial glycerides, unsaponifiable matter components) and their changes during fruit ripening. The nutritional attributes of hybrid palm oils are compared with the ones of conventional African palm oils.

“…The TAGs in HMF have a unique stereospecific structure [e.g., OPO (oleic-palmitic-oleic) or OPL (oleic-palmitic-linoleic) or OPLa (oleic-palmitic-lauric)], with PA primarily esterified at the sn-2 position (ca. 40-60%) and unsaturated FAs mainly at the sn-1,3 positions [9]. The fatty acid composition and proportions of fatty acids at the sn-2 position of human milk as reported by several researchers are given in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. The most abundant fatty acids in human milk are palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids, and their compositions are significantly influenced by maternal food consumption during lactation [10,11].…”

Human milk fat (HMF) is a perfect nutritional source that includes all the required ingredients which are necessary for the growth of infants up to 6 months. Although its composition may differ among mothers or during lactation stage, its unique triacylglycerol (TAG) structure remains constant which is characterized by the presence of palmitic acid (PA) at the sn‐2 position. Previous reports provided convincing information of higher PA and calcium absorption and efficient use of dietary energy when at this specific position in the TAG moiety than when PA is at the sn‐1,3 positions. During the design of structured lipids (SLs) intended for infant nutrition, this unique property is taken into consideration. Human milk fat substitutes (HMFS) enriched with important fatty acids such as omega‐3 and omega‐6 fatty acids are intended to better mimic the functions of HMF as well as provide associated health benefits. The use of microencapsulation technology and novel technologies such as ultrasound technology in conjunction with SL production and enzyme‐catalyzed reactions are evolving and ongoing issues in infant formula production. Therefore, further studies should be directed towards new process improvements in order to increase the functional properties and oxidative stabilities of HMFS. Novel technologies in lipid biotechnology related to HMFS preparation should also be explored.

“…Human milk is a dynamic body fluid that changes in nutritional and immunological composition during lactation (Haddad et al 2012) according to the time of day, type of milk and maternal ingestion of nutrients (Picciano 1998;França et al 2010França et al , 2012b and in disease (Roncada et al 2013). Moreover, the components of human milk and the pathophysiological processes of nursing mothers are still controversial.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in minerals, antibodies, complement and cytokine levels in the human milk of hypertensive women based on the time of collection (diurnal/nocturnal) and the type of milk. The material was collected from 23 mothers at three stages of maturity: 3 days (colostrum), 10 days (transitional milk) and 30 days (mature milk) postpartum -and at two times -diurnal (12:00 h) and nocturnal (24:00 h) -resulting in a total of 138 samples. The minerals, antibody, complement, IFN-γ and TGF-β cytokine levels were determined. Increases in sodium and potassium were observed independent of phase, while phosphorus was observed only during nocturnal period. IgA was higher in the transitional milk of hypertensive mothers in the nocturnal period. IgG was higher in the nocturnal period of hypertensive mothers regardless of milk maturation. The C3 protein increased during the diurnal period in the transitional and mature milk of hypertensive women. Milk concentrations of the cytokines IFN-γ and TGF-β were higher during the nocturnal period of hypertensive mothers. These data suggest that the milk of hypertensive mothers exhibits alterations proteins and inflammatory mediators, and these alterations are dependent on time and milk maturation.
