OPO (1,3-Dioleoyl-2-Palmitoyl Glycerol) is a food-grade structured lipid mimicking the sn-2 palmitate structure of human breast milk fat, improving calcium and fat absorption in infant formula.We supply bulk OPO sourced from leading China manufacturers for global food and beverage producers. Our OPO is widely used in premium infant formula fat ingredient, toddler formula, clinical infant nutrition and lactation nutrition. HS Code: 15179099
OPO (Sn-2 Palmitate, β-palmitate) is a structured triglyceride produced by enzymatic interesterification. This positions palmitic acid primarily at the sn-2 position (≥ 40%) of the glycerol backbone, similar to human milk fat.
This structure prevents formation of calcium-palmitate soaps in the infant gut. This improves calcium absorption, fat absorption and reducing constipation and crying.
