The present study evaluated the parameters of the nutritional quality of fatty acids and macronutrients in ten industrial enteral formulas. The results obtained were compared with those reported on the food labels. Two samples presented lower total protein contents compared to the values reported by the manufacturers. Four samples presented relatively higher carbohydrate contents – between 128 and 177%, compared to the values reported on the labels. Four other samples exhibited relatively lower total lipid contents – between 65 and 68%, as opposed to the values reported on the label. The caloric density values obtained were within the established tolerance limits. The contents of saturated fatty acids (SFA) in six formulas exceeded the values indicated on the labels; furthermore, the contents of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) found in four formulas were lower than the values reported on the labels, while seven samples recorded lower contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) compared to the labels reported values. Only 30% of the formulas presented all the parameters of macronutrients as reported on the labels. The discrepancy between the values obtained in the experiments and the values reported on the labels points to the need for stringent supervision of the actual composition of enteral formulas administered to individuals with specific nutritional needs who may have their clinical outcomes compromised by the intake of inadequate contents of fatty acids and macronutrients that differ from the contents prescribed in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in the outpatient clinic, or at home. |
