OPO (1,3-oleic acid-2-palmitatetriglyceride)

Breast milk contains about 3%-5% fat, of which triglycerides accounts for more than 95% of total fat.
Palmitic acid is the most important energy-generating fatty acid in human body, take up 20%-25% of total fatty acids. In human milk, up to 60%-70% of palmitic acid is esterified at SN-2 position of triglycerides, known as 1,3-oleic acid-2-palmitate triglyceride (OPO), However, In cow milk, the proportion is only 30%-35%.
OPO added to infant formula can not only reduce palmitic acid saponification in gastrointestinal tract in infant tract,which further decreases constipation risk, but also promote absorption of minerals such as calcium into body.
