Human milk fat globules (HMFG) are considered to constitute a triglyceride -rich source of fat and energy. However, milk contains lipid particles at different sizes ranging from tens of micrometers to less than 1 µ m In particular, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of submicron sized particles are poorly described. Individual HMFG were analyzed using laser trapping confocal Raman spectroscopy, and their chemical signature was obtained and compared to 1,5, and 10 µm globules. Significant ...
