Evaluation of total, sn-2 fatty acid, and triacylglycerol composition in commercial infant formulas on the Chinese market: A comparative study of preterm and term formulas

•Total, sn-2 FA and TAGs composition of preterm and term formulas were analyzed.•Preterm formula contained significantly higher C8:0 and C10:0.•No significant differences of DHA existed.•Preterm formula contained much lower C16:0 and C18:0 at sn-2 of TAG.•High amounts of Ca-Ca-Cy and Ca-Ca-Ca existe...

Zusammenfassung:	•Total, sn-2 FA and TAGs composition of preterm and term formulas were analyzed.•Preterm formula contained significantly higher C8:0 and C10:0.•No significant differences of DHA existed.•Preterm formula contained much lower C16:0 and C18:0 at sn-2 of TAG.•High amounts of Ca-Ca-Cy and Ca-Ca-Ca existed in preterm formula. Preterm infants with physiological immaturity require higher lipid provision than term infants. This study compared the lipid composition, including total, sn-2 fatty acid, and triacylglycerol (TAG) compositions in 14 preterm formulas and 25 term formulas in the Chinese market, in 2020–2021. Preterm formula had higher medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) and comparable C22:6n-3 (DHA) contents than term formula. Notably, significantly lower C16:0 and C18:0 (p
