Fatty Acid Composition of Infant Formula Processed by ILC and Placebo Cartridges

A comparison of fat composition percentages in infant formula samples, including unprocessed formula and formula processed by ILC and placebo cartridges. The dataset, authored by Sarah Z. Wang and last updated on 2026-04-30, measures specific fatty acids such as DHA, EPA, ALA, ARA, and LA as a percentage of total fatty acids. It is a small dataset of 5.5 KB, stored in an XLS file format.

Use Cases

• Compare the stability of specific fatty acids like DHA and ARA based on processing method mentioned in the description
• Assess the nutritional impact of ILC cartridge processing on formula based on fatty acid percentage data
• Benchmark fatty acid profiles in processed infant formula against unprocessed samples based on the described composition data

Strengths

• Specific fatty acid metrics are defined, including DHA, EPA, ALA, ARA, and LA.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size is 5.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
