Kabara (1978) and others have reported that certain fatty acids (FAs)(e.g., medium - chain saturates) and their derivatives (e.g., monoglycerides (MGs)-RRB- can have adverse effects on various microorganisms: those microorganisms that are inactivated include bacteria, yeast, fungi, and
enveloped viruses.

enveloped viruses are inactivated in both human and bovine milk by added fatty acids and monoglycerides (Isaacs et al 1991), and also by endogenous fatty acids and monoglycerides of the appropriate length (Isaacs et al 1986, 1990, 1991, 1992; Thormar et al 1987).
