Abstract

Infant formula is one of the main nutritional sources for infants. In this study, the fatty acid compositions of Korean (domestic, n=8) and foreign infant formulas (n=3) were analyzed. Crude fats were extracted using the Folch method, and fatty acid compositions (total and positional) were analyzed by gas chromatography. In the fatty acid compositions of infant formulas, oleic (19.88~44.64%), palmitic (7.59~21.65%) and linoleic acids (16.72~25.87%) were the major fatty acids. Domestic infant formula products contained 35.94~56.55% total saturated fatty acid content, whereas that of foreign infant formula ranged from 34.40~42.88%. The content of monounsaturated fatty acids ranged from 20.23~44.99% in domestic products and 34.11~45.07% in foreign products. In addition, 0.17~2.57% arachidonic acid/docosahexaenoic acid and 10~13% linoleic acid/linolenic acid were detected in the analyzed products (domestic and foreign products). A small amount of trans fatty acids (0.25~1.69%) were found. In sn-2 position analysis, palmitic acids (1.84~38.74%) were detected in the analyzed formulas. Further, typical triacylglycerols in human milk, including 1,3-di-monounsaturated-2-saturated triacylglycerol, were not detected in the analyzed formulas.

시중에 유통되고 있는 조제분유의 지방산 및 TAG 조성을 알아보기 위하여 국내외 조제분유 총 11 품목을 선정하였고, Folch법을 이용하여 지방을 추출한 다음 총 지방산과 sn-2 위치의 지방산 및 silver ion HPLC를 이용한 단일불포화-포화-단일불포화 glycerol(MSM)의 조성을 분석하였다. 조제분유의 조지방의 함량은 17.21~23.51%이었고, 특히 K5의 조지방 함량이 23.51%로써 분석된 조제분유들 중에서 가장 높게 나왔으나, K1은 17.21%의 함량을 보이면서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 분석된 조제분유들의 주요 포화지방산은 lauric acid(C12:0), myristic acid(C14:0), palmitic acid(C16:0), stearic acid(C18:0)이었다. Lauric acid의 함량은 K5와 K6에서 19.49%와 23.34%로 분석되어 15%보다 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 한편, 분석된 조제분유의 palmitic acid의 함량은 7.59~21.65%의 범위로써 K2, K3, K6, F1에서 각각 14.64%, 8.29%, 13.47% 및 7.59%로써 낮은 함량을 나타냈다. 불포화 지방산들 중에서 단일불포화지방산(C14:1, myristoleic acid; C16:1, palmitoleic acid; C17:1, heptadecenoic acid; C18:1, oleic acid; C18:1t, elaidic acid)의 함량은 20.23~45.07%로 나타났고, 단일불포화지방산들 중에서 대부분을 구성하고 있는 지방산은 oleic acid(C18:1)이었다. 분석된 조제분유에서 oleic acid의 함량은 19.64~44.64%의 범위였고 총 다가불포화지방산은 19.08~29.67%의 범위였다. Omega-6 다가불포화지방산과 omega-3 다가불포화지방산의 주요한 지방산은 필수지방산인 linoleic acid(C18:2)와 linolenic acid(C18:3, n-3)로 분석된 조제분유의 비율은 10:1~13:1로, 조제분유의 지방산 조성에 대한 지표인 linoleic acid/linolenic acid의 비율인 5:1~15:1 범위 내였다. 분석한 조제분유들 중에서 sn-2 위치에서의 lauric acid 함량은 7.70~52.09%로 나타났고, myristic acid의 함량은 3.15~20.89%로써 분석된 조제분유들은 전반적으로 sn-2 위치에서의 lauric acid 함량이 20% 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 특히, 분석된 조제분유들의 sn-2 위치에 존재하는 palmitic acid의 함량은 1.84~38.74%의 범위로써 K8과 F3이 각각 38.55%와 38.90%의 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 따라서 대부분의 국내외 조제분유들을 구성하는 triacylglycerol(TAG)의 sn-2 위치에서의 palmitic acid 함량이 모유와 비교하였을 때 낮은 경향을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 조제분유보다 더 나아가 HPLC 분석을 통해서 모유의 주요 TAG 형태라고 할 수 있는 단일불포화-포화-단일불포화 glycerol(MSM)의 함량이 외국의 조제분유인 F3이 가장 높게 나타났다. 따라서 조제분유에 이러한 MSM 형태의 지방 함량을 높여야하며, MSM 형태의 모유대체지 연구를 산업화하려는 노력이 필요하다.
