Enteral formulas that contain long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), e.g. arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) essentially free of cholesterol, and a process for making such enteral compositions are described. More particularly, the invention relates to methods for reducing the incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis by administering compositions which provide n-6 and n-3 long chain PUFAs; phospholipids and/or choline. Compositions from egg yolk lipids are presently preferred as they contain n-6 and n-3 long chain PUFAs and are predominantly in a phosphtidylcholine form. This is believed to provide a synergistic effect. Also disclosed is a process of making such a composition that provides improved organoleptic and stability properties.

Formules entérales contenant des acides gras polyinsaturés à longue chaîne (PUFAs), par exemple, de l'acide arachidonique (AA) et de l'acide docosahexaenoïque (DHA), essentiellement exempts de cholestérol, ainsi qu'un procédé servant à préparer ces compositions entérales. L'invention concerne, plus particulièrement, des procédés servant à limiter la fréquence de l'entérocolite nécrosante du nouveau-né, ce qui consiste à administrer des compositions contenant des acides gras polyinsaturés à longue chaîne n-6 et n-3 et soit des phospholipides, soit choline. Les compositions à base de lipides de jaune d'oeuf sont actuellement préférées, étant donné qu'elles contiennent des acides gras polyinsaturés à longue chaîne n-6 et n-3 et se présentent de façon prédominante sous la forme de phosphtidylcholine. On pense qu'elles exercent un effet synergique. L'invention concerne également un procédé servant à préparer ce type de composition qui possède des propriétés organoleptiques et une stabilité améliorées.
