Sn-2 Palmitate
The palmitic acid in human milk is positioned in a very unique way to the second (middle) position of the glycerol back bone also known as sn-2 position (figure 2). In human milk, approximately 70-75% of the palmitic acids is esterified to the sn2 position of the triglyceride (sn2 palmitate). In contrast, vegetable oils only have about 8-10% of their palmitic acid attached to sn2. This special preferential positioning is even more significant knowing that it is conserved in all women, regardless of their ethnic origin or nutrition. That's Sn-2 Palmitate.
