Human milk (HM) fed to the premature infant is often fortified with MCT oil to increase its caloric density. The fat loss due to adherence to feeding sets (residual fat) was evaluated for the prevailing methods of MCT supplementation. Forty feeding sets, collected from infants on feeds of 3 different compositions, were analyzed for the amount of residual fat (measured as % of total fat in feed by gravimetry). The fatty acid (FA) composition of the fat residue was analyzed by gas liquid chromatography. The results (mean±SD) show:FA composition of the fat residue from Group C (given in % of total FA) shows: C8:0=59.95; C10:0=29.46 and other FA=10.59.Conclusion: 1) There is no significant difference in lipid adherence to feeding sets between Groups A and B; 2) in Group C up to 20% of lipid may be lost in the feeding set; 3) FA composition of the fat residue from Group C (given in % of total FA) shows that up to 90% of MCT oil added is lost in the feeding set. |
