“…Preformed retinol and three provitamins A carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, and β-cryptoxanthin), α-tocopherol, and γ -tocopherol will be determined by an Agilent 1260 HPLC system with multiwavelength detection 34 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA). Vitamin E will be expressed as tocopherol equivalents (TE), defined as α-tocopherol + 0.25 γ-tocopherol 35 . Total vitamin concentrations derived from different vitamers will be estimated by calculating the amount of the free or main form of the vitamin within each vitamer based on molecular weights (e.g.…”

Chicken liver and eggshell crackers as a safe and affordable animal source food for overcoming micronutrient deficits during pregnancy and lactation in Indonesia: a double-blind, randomised placebo-controlled trial (SISTIK Growth Study)

Background: Indonesia ranks fifth in terms of the number of stunted children and there has been little change in the stunting prevalence in the last decade. In earlier observational studies conducted in 2014-2015, we identified several key underlying problems with the potential to impact stunting in Sumedang district, West Java, Indonesia. Deficits in intakes of growth-limiting micronutrients were observed, most notably calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin A, emphasizing the need for a food-based intervention to overcome these micronutrient deficits in the diets of mothers and their infants. Methods: A double-blind placebo-controlled cluster randomised trial comparing the effect of daily consumption of 75 grams of locally produced micronutrient-enriched crackers (MEC) (intervention group) compared to placebo crackers (control group) by mothers at two-time intervals: (i) from the 8-14 weeks of pregnancy to delivery (i.e., 28-34 weeks of consumption of MEC) on birth length, and (ii) from the 8-14 weeks of pregnancy to 5 months post-partum on attained linear growth and linear growth velocity of breast-fed infants. A total of 324 pregnant women from 28 clusters (villages) located in 3 sub-districts in Sumedang district, West Java, Indonesia, will be randomly assigned to either intervention (n=14 villages) or control (n=14 villages). Discussion: This will be the first study in Indonesia to use crackers based on powdered eggshells and chicken liver, in a form which is acceptable, safe, and has a long shelf life. If daily consumption of MEC for 6 months during pregnancy can enhance birth length, or their continued daily consumption for 5 months postpartum improves both attained and incremental linear growth at 5 months of age, then scaling-up in Indonesia may be considered.

Reported values for concentrations of micronutrients in human milk form the basis of the majority of micronutrient intake recommendations for infants and the additional maternal requirements for lactation. The infant recommendations may also be extrapolated to provide estimates for young children. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the adequacy of the milk micronutrient concentration data used by the Institute of Medicine to set recommendations for the United States and Canada, by FAO/WHO, the United Kingdom, and the European Food Safety Authority. The concentrations accepted by each agency are presented for each micronutrient accompanied by the source of information and comments on the number, location, status, and stage of lactation of the sample population, where known. These summaries show the small number of participants from which samples were collected in most studies, the wide range of concentrations within studies, the lack of longitudinal data, and the variability in collection methods. These factors contribute to the variability in nutrient intake recommendations among committees, although this variability is reduced by some committees that accept milk-composition values proposed by others. Values are also summarized from milk collected in studies in which mothers or infants were known to be deficient on the basis of clinical symptoms, biomarkers of inadequacy, or both, to show the extent to which milk micronutrients can be reduced by poor maternal nutritional status. We conclude that a new, multicenter study is needed to establish reference values for milk constituents across lactation.

Rational feeding is one of the most important conditions that ensure adequate maturation of various organs and tissues, optimal parameters of physical, psychomotor, intellectual development, infant resistance to infections and other unfavorable external factors. The ideal food for an infant is mother’s breast milk, because it has a relationship with the tissues of the child and is the ‘gold standard’ for optimal nutrition. The nature of feeding in the first year of life largely determines the state of health of the child, not only in infancy, but also in the subsequent years of his life. Insufficient or improper nutrition of the mother during pregnancy and lactation is a consequence of the production of milk with a low content of vitamins and essential nutrients, which may be one of the reasons for the development of alimentary‑dependent conditions in young children, negatively affect growth indicators, nervous and mental development of a child. The best way to replenish the micronutrient deficiency in the diet of nursing mothers is to take biologically active food supplements in the form of vitamin and mineral complexes.
