A comparative study between freeze-dried and spray-dried goat milk on lipid profiling and digestibility

•Goat milk fat globules were subjected to simulated in-vitro infant digestion.•A total of 359 triacylglycerols and 189 phospholipids were identified by using high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry.•Lyso-phospholipids and some important long-chain polyunsaturated TAGs were better preserved in freeze-dried goat milk than spray-dried goat milk.•Freeze-dried goat milk fat had longer lag period during digestion and lower level of final lipolysis than spray-dried goat milk.
