  abstract = {{S}evere {A}cute {M}alnutrition ({SAM}) is still a public health issue in many low-income and middle-income countries. {I}ts management has changed with the development of {R}eady-to-{U}se {T}herapeutic {F}oods ({RUTF}) that are energy-dense, lipid-based, micronutrient-enriched foods. {T}he purpose of the present study was to define some aspects of the nutritional profile (in particular, lipid content, fatty acids profile, lipophilic vitamin content), oxidative status, and mycotoxin content of three {RUTF} products (of which two manufactured in {A}sia and one in {E}urope), at different time points during their storage. {A}ll {RUTF} displayed good lipid stability, with peroxide values < 10 meq{O}(2)/kg lipids, acidity index < 0.6 g/100 g lipids, and very low amounts of secondary oxidation volatile compounds. {O}nly the one produced in {E}urope complied with the international recommendations on vitamin {A} and {E} contents. {L}ipid content ranged from 28.7 +/- 0.5 to 41.2 +/- 2.4 g/100 g. {O}leic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid (47.2 +/- 7.4%, 26.8 +/- 2.1%, and 12.4 +/- 3.9% of total lipids, respectively) were the main fatty acids. {O}nly one of the samples made in {A}sia exceeded the regulatory limit of mycotoxins. {T}he {RUTF} lipid phase was rather stable at ambient temperature from 9 to 12 months, and appropriate packaging may have contributed to a major stability.},
