Abstract
A method for preparing a synthetic lipid composition in which the content and the distribution of the fatty acids are similar to those of human milk fat, containing less than 2% by weight of free fatty acids, in which palmitic acid is predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols and the arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acids are distributed between the 1-, 2- and 3-position and in particular predominantly at the 2-position of the triacylglycerols. The method includes the steps of interesterifying a mixture of specific lipids with a mixture of free fatty acids, followed by removal of excess free fatty acids by partial deacidification utilizing steam distillation under vacuum and then by controlled neutralization of the partially deacidified fat.
