Zusammenfassung:OF THE DISCLOSURE COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR NUTRIENT DELIVERY The present disclosure provides nutritional compositions comprising docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA). The nutritional compositions may comprise an emulsion of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), and are suitable for enteral delivery as a nutritional supplement or for oral delivery as a human milk or infant formula fortifier. Additionally, the present disclosure provides methods for delivering nutrients to subjects requiring small-volume nutritional support, such as preterm infants. The nutritional compositions are useful, for example, in correcting nutritional deficiencies by increasing a subject's intake of nutrients, such as ω -3 or ω -6 long-chain polyunsaturated acids.
