THE ROLE OF FOOD ENRICHED WITH ῶ-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN CHILDREN’S NUTRITION
Abstract
The article describes a structure and functions of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and their role in infants’ nutrition. It was marked that Russian market has only one product for additional food enriched with PUFA ῶ-3 for children from 4 months old. It is milkless buckwheat «Heinz».
Key words: children, nutrition, additional food, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
