SYNTHESIS, COMPOSITION AND MODIFICATION OF THE BOVINE MILK FAT: A valuable nutrient for the human health
Journal Title: Revista MVZ Cordoba - Year 2009, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
It presents a review about the composition, structure and mechanism of milk fat synthesis in the bovine mammary gland, and about the effect of unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) supplementation on the amount and quality of milk fat. It is enhanced the importance of the supplementation with vegetable plus fish oils; it is suggested that the effect of UFA should not be remarked as negative on the amount of milk fat; It is showed the necessity of relating different UFA with the SREBP´s regulatory way, and with different lipid enzymes; and it is promoted research about the effect of UFA on the milk fatty acid composition and their positional distribution into the lipid structure.
