               for example, olive, palm, cottonseed, peanut, soybean,                  
               sesame, corn, sunflower seed, linseed, rapeseed, sardine,               
               menhaden, tung, safflower, poppyseed, rice bran, almond,                
               wheat germ oils, and the like.  Oily dispersions of the                 
               unsaturated fatty acids can be used.  In the present                    
               preparation it is preferred to use the edible unsaturated               
               oils having substantial percentages of linoleic acid, for               
               example, soybean oil, safflower oil, corn oil, sunflower                
               seed oil, and mixtures thereof.

               Babayan describes “triglyceride preparations for enteral or             
          parenteral administration to prevent catabolism and to increase              
          protein synthesis in subjects undergoing severe metabolic stress”            
          (Babayan, p. 1, 1st para.), i.e., the “invention provides medium             
          chain and long chain fatty acids chemically synthesized into                 
          structured triglycerides (lipids) for enteral or parenteral                  
          administration as the lipid calorie source” (Babayan, p. 3, 1st              
          para.; emphasis added).  Babayan states (Babayan, p. 3, l. 6, to

               rearranged mixtures of medium chain triglycerides (MCT)                 
               and long chain triglycerides (LCT).  They may be represented            
               by the following formula,
