Cow milk generally contains between 3 and 4 g of fat/100 g, although values as
high as 5.5 g/100 g have been reported in raw milk. Most milks consumed now contain
a standardized fat content of around 3.5 g/100 g. Cow milk contains a higher
proportion of saturated FA (SFA) than does human milk: 65–75 g/100 g total FAs,
of which about 40 percent are C12:0–C16:0. Cow milk also has a high content of
C18:0. The monounsaturated FA (MUFA) that is present in highest concentration
in cow milk is C18:1 (oleic acid)
