Development and large-scale production of human milk fat analog by fermentation of microalgae.

Background: Human milk contains a complex mixture of triacylglycerols (TAG), making it challenging to recreate using common ingredients.

Objective: The study aimed to develop an innovative fermentation technique to produce essential human milk TAG, effectively tackling a significant hurdle in infant nutrition.

Method: An in-depth analysis of the literature has been conducted to identify the specific TAG to be targeted.
