- Sn-2 palmitate – a unique feature of human milk
- Human milk research has revealed a unique structure where palmitic acid, one of the most abundant fatty acids found in human milk, is usually attached (70-75% of the time) to the middle position in the glycerol back-bone. This typical structure is found in human milk of women all over the world, regardless of nutritional diet, ethnicity or age, suggesting that it may serve an important function.
