Composition of Human Colostrum and Milk

Calcium and Phosphorus Content of Transitional and Mature Human Milk

“…The data for the calcium content of breast milks reported in this paper differ from the values given by Macy, 1949 (6) but are in general agreement with more recent work (7,9,10). This may reflect differences in analytical techniques for the determination of calcium and it is of interest that the data for phosphorus are in agreement with previous reported values.…”

Maternal Milk and Serum Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, and Protein Levels in Indian Subjects

“…The average total folate values of 9 2 m,ug./ml. in transitional milk obtained in our study are substantially higher than the corresponding values obtained by earlier workers (Macy, 1949;Collins et al, 1951). The present values are similar to those reported by Ramsastri (1965) from India who obtained an average value of 8-4 mptg./ml., using L. casei and ascorbic acid containing medium for analysis.…”

The Essence of Nourishment: Tracing the Levels of Essential Mineral Elements in the Colostrum Milk of Full-Term Mothers

“…Our results of Ca determination in human colostrum was, however, far less than the mean level of 3500.0 mg/L (1 μg/g ≡ 1 mg/L) reported in Nigeria [27]. In a related study [33] also reported a mean level of 481 mg/L (i.e. 48.1 per 100 cm 3 ) of Ca in human colostrum milk in Detroit.…”

“…The mean concentration of K determined in human colostrum in the present study (602.63 ± 77.62 mg/L) was in line with the mean level of 628.0 ± 115.0 mg/L reported in Brazil [45], and a mean range of 600 -800 mg/L in Korea [29]. Our obtained value was , however, less than the mean concentration of 4800.0 ± 2100.0 mg/L and 745.0 mg/L respectively reported in Nigeria and Detroit [33] but greater than the 333.5 + 94.0 mg/L reported in Spain [30].…”

“…The mean concentration of P determined in colostrum milk in our study was 193.2 ± 46.8 mg/L. This value was higher than the mean levels of 11.20 ± 2.80 mg/100 mL (112.0 ± 28.0 mg/L) reported in Brazil [45], a mean range of 120 -160 mg/L in Korea [29], 157.0 ± 4.7 mg/L in Detroit [33] and 134.9 ± 19.0 mg/L in Spain [30] respectively.…”
