چکیده

OBJECTIVE The study tested the hypothesis that inclusion of palm olein (45% of fat) in the fat blend of a milk-based infant formula decreases the absorption of fat and calcium. METHODS Formula PO contained palm olein (45%) in addition to soy, coconut and high-oleic sunflower oils (20%, 20%, and 15%, respectively); Formula HOS contained high-oleic safflower oil (42%) in addition to coconut and soy oils (30% and 28%, respectively) and no palm olein. Fat and calcium levels in the two formulas were similar. In a balanced crossover design, fat and calcium absorption were determined in 10 normal infants ranging in age from 22 to 192 days. In three infants metabolic balance studies with complete separation of urine and feces were performed, whereas in seven infants excreta were in part collected at home, resulting in incomplete separation of urine and feces. RESULTS Mean (+/- SD) fecal excretion of fat was higher when Formula PO was fed than when Formula HOS was fed (0.55 +/- 0.29 vs. 0.09 +/- 0.04 g/kg/day; p < 0.001). Hence % fat absorption was lower with PO than with HOS (90.0 +/- 6.4 vs. 98.5 +/- 0.6% of intake; p < 0.01). The difference in percent fat absorption was explained by significantly (p < 0.05) lower % absorption of palmitic (16:0) and stearic (18:0) acids when Formula PO was fed than when Formula HOS was fed. Fecal excretion of calcium was higher with Formula PO than with Formula HOS (53.4 +/- 12.0 vs. 37.4 +/- 14.9 mg/kg/day; p < 0.01), and hence % calcium absorption was lower with Formula PO than with Formula HOS (37.5 +/- 11.5 vs. 57.4 +/- 14.9%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Absorption of fat and calcium by normal infants is lower when palm olein provides a substantial proportion of formula fat than when formula does not contain palm olein.

Calcium and fat metabolic balance, and gastrointestinal tolerance in term infants fed milk-based formulas with and without palm olein and palm kernel oils: a randomized blinded crossover study

BACKGROUND Effects of palm olein (POL) on calcium and fat metabolic balance and gastrointestinal (GI) tolerance have been clinically evaluated but its use in combination with palm kernel oil (PKO), and canola oil has not been similarly assessed in infants. METHODS Calcium and fat balance and GI tolerance were evaluated in 33 healthy term infants (age = 68-159 d) in a randomized, double-blinde...

Palm olein in infant formula: absorption of fat and minerals by normal infants13

Palm olein, a low-melting fraction of palm oil, and soy oil can be combined to obtain fat blends with proportions of palmitic and oleic acids similar to those of human milk. We compared the absorption of fat and calcium by infants fed a formula containing a blend of palm olein (53%) and soy oil (47%) (Formula POtS) with that by infants fed a formula containing a blend of soy oil (60%) and cocon...

Lower calcium absorption in infants fed casein hydrolysate- and soy protein-based infant formulas containing palm olein versus formulas without palm olein.

OBJECTIVE Quantitative balance studies were performed to compare fat and calcium absorption in healthy, full term infants fed casein hydrolysate-based (CHF) and soy protein-based (SPF) infant formulas with or without palm olein (PO). Previous studies have reported that PO significantly reduced absorption of both fat and calcium in cow's milk-based formulas in which most of the calcium is inhere...

Impact of palm olein in infant formulas on stool consistency and frequency: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Background: Meta-analysis studies have documented that palm olein (PALM) predominant formulas reduce calcium and fat absorption, and bone mineralization in infants, but none have been documented for stool consistency and frequency. Objective: The study objective was to conduct a meta-analysis of published randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on the effect of PALM-based formulas on stool consistenc...

Formula Tolerance in Postbreastfed and Exclusively Formula-fed Infants

Objective. Perceived intolerance to infant formula is a frequently reported reason for formula switching. Formula intolerance may be related to perceived symptoms of constipation, fussiness, abdominal cramps, and excessive spit-up or vomit. Commercially available formulas differ from each other in processing and in sources and levels of protein, lipids, and micronutrients. These differences may...
