  1. Formulas contained as lipids either: only plant lipids (PL), a half-half mixture of plant and dairy lipids (DL) or a half-half mixture of plant and dairy lipids supplemented with Lf (DL + Lf). The three infant formulas were produced in one batch of production each and used for the three replications of the experiment. The composition reading is that of this one batch production. Formulas were rehydrated at 20% of dry extract. Lipid sources of the PL formula were palm oil (71.7%), rapeseed oil (23.2%) and refined sunflower oil (5.1%); those of the DL and DL + Lf formulas were cream (53.4%), rapeseed oil (21.1%), refined sunflower oil (13.1%) and high oleic sunflower oil (12.4%).
