Lipids in Infant Nutrition: From Human Milk Science to Formula Innovation
In this video, Speaker: Prof. Berthold Koletzko, together with an expert panel including Ingrid Renes, Prof. Jonathan Swann, Prof. Meng Mao, and Prof. Yvan Vanderplas, explores the evolving science of lipids in infant nutrition. The session focuses on the unique structure of human milk fat globules, their role in infant growth and development, and emerging approaches to better mimic these characteristics in infant formula. The discussion highlights how lipid size, structure, and composition influence digestion, nutrient utilization, microbiota development, and long‑term health outcomes.
