- What is Milk Fat
- Fat is the most variable component in milk in both their concentration and chemical composition, whether inter- or intra-species differences are considered. It ranges from about 1% in donkey milk to more than 50% in aquatic mammals. Milk fat is the major source of lipid used by the neonate mammal for accumulating body adipose in the initial days after birth. Milk fat is the primary component of cream. Milk fat contains approximately 65% saturated, 30% monounsaturated, and 5% polyunsaturated fatty acids.
