Mierliţă, Daniel; Lup, Florin
- Abstract
Milk fat fraction was considered to have negative effects on consumers' health due to the high content of saturated fatty acids and trans fatty acids, which are responsible for the associated cardiovascular disease and obesity. However numerous studies have shown that whole milk is more effective in preventing cardiovascular disease in humans than skimmed milk. These positive effects are attributed fatty acids (FA) functionality present in the fat of whole milk. Functional fatty acids are: omega-3 (n-3 FA), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA; C18:2 cis-9, trans-11) and trans-vaccenic acid (C18: 1 trans-11, VA). Functional fatty acid content of milk is influenced by genetic and physiological side and on the other by a number of factors nutritionally. Most studies have shown that nutritional factors are sovereign in handling fatty acid profile of milk fat.
