FIELD: chemistry; food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the use of a compound of formula (1), (2), (3) or (4) or a combination thereof for activating and/or accelerating myelination, to activate a positive neurological effect selected from a group consisting of cognitive function, memory function, learning ability, social interaction skills, visual acuity, motor skills, speech skills and anxiety reduction. In formulas (1) - (4) R¹, R², R³, R⁴, R⁵ and R⁶ independently represent a long-chain fatty acid containing from 16 to 20 carbon atoms. Use of said compounds provides a food grade butyrate source having improved organoleptic properties, particularly improved smell and/or taste for activation and/or acceleration of myelination. Invention also relates to the use of a composition for activating and/or accelerating myelination, for activating a positive neurological effect, selected from a group consisting of cognitive function, memory function, learning ability, social interaction skills, visual acuity, motor skills, speech skills and reduction of anxiety containing compounds of formulas (5) and (6). Compound of formula (5) makes at least 10 wt.% of the total weight of triglycerides containing a butyrate residue in the composition and the compound of formula (6) makes at least 10 wt.% of the total weight of triglycerides containing a butyrate residue in the composition.

EFFECT: compounds can be used in nutritional compositions, dietary supplements, infant formulas and mixtures for fed children.
