Technical Abstract: Milk fat conveys a number of desirable qualities to food, and various lipid components contribute to human nutrition and health. Over 96% of milk lipids consist of triacylglycerols, which contain a variety of fatty acids. Di- and monoacylglycerols, free fatty acids, sterols, and phospho-, glyco-, and ether lipids are also present, and all affect physicochemical properties and functional attributes. The present work reviews these aspects of bovine milk lipids.
