This scoping review aimed to explore the effects of PO/POL and SN2 on neurodevelopment in infants, revealing a lack of consistent findings in this area. Current research indicates that feeding formulas containing PO/POL or SN2 does not significantly impact physical growth, but may affect the absorption of nutrients differently.
Background: Palmitic acid (PA; 16:0) is added to infant formula in the form of palm oil/palm olein (PO/POL) and stereospecific numbered-2 palmitate (SN2). Several studies have examined the effects of PO/POL and or SN2 in formulas on health outcomes, mainly growth, digestion, and absorption of nutrients. However, the roles of PA, PO/POL, and SN2 on neurodevelopment remains unknown. Objectives: The objective of this scoping review was to map out studies in infants fed formula with PO/POL or SN2 to identify current knowledge on the role of PA in infant nutrition, specifically neurodevelopment. Methods: Data sources, including Medline, Embase, CAB Abstracts, and the Cochrane Database, were searched. Eligible articles were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies examining outcomes in term singleton infants fed formula containing PO/POL or SN2. Studies examining preterm infants or infants with infections, mixed-feeding interventions, or outcomes not concerned with PO/POL or SN2 were excluded. Screening and data extraction were performed by 2 independent reviewers, and results were charted into 10 outcome categories. Results: We identified 28 RCTs and 2 observational studies. Only 1 RCT examined a neurodevelopmental outcome, reporting infants fed SN2 formula had higher fine motor skill scores compared to those fed a vegetable oil formula with a lower amount of SN2; however, only after adjustment for maternal education and at an earlier, but not a later time point. Anthropometric measures do not appear to be influenced by PO/POL or SN2 within formulas. Alternatively, it was reported that infants fed PO/POL within formulas had a decreased absorption of calcium, total fat, and PA compared to those fed vegetable oil formulas. However, studies were heterogenous, making it difficult to isolate the effects of PO/POL or SN2 in formulas. Conclusions: Our review reiterates the need for future studies to address the effects of PO/POL and SN2 on neurodevelopment in infants. This study is registered at Open Science Framework as osf.io/697he.
