“…The first dehydrated infant formulas were produced using a dry mixing process in which the powdered ingredients were purchased separately and mixed in large batches. The microbiological safety of this process has been put into question by cases of contamination with pathogens such as Enterobacter sakazakii and Salmonella enterica [3,7].…”

“…Dry mixing has been replaced by a wet mixing process, shown in Figure 2, which consists in dissolving the dried ingredients in preheated water or skimmed milk, then pasteurizing and homogenizing the mixture. The preparation is first concentrated in a vacuum evaporator in order to reduce the energy costs associated with spray drying [6,7].…”

“…After passing through a cyclone, the resulting powder is collected and packed in large bags or stored in silos during quality control analysis [23]. Subsequently, it is canned on an aseptic packaging line in a modified atmosphere such as nitrogen, to prevent possible oxidation of the product [7].…”

“…In most cases, powdered infant formulas are produced using cow's milk with the addition of other components such as lactose, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to mimic breast milk [5]. All ingredients are mixed together and undergo successive heating treatments (pasteurization, concentration, drying) to guarantee their microbiological safety while, at the same time, promote undesirable reactions between the constituents [6,7,8].…”

Powdered infant formulas are manufactured by dissolving dried ingredients in water or skimmed milk, which is then followed by pasteurization, homogenization, concentration in a vacuum evaporator and drying in spray dryer. Due to this large number of thermal processes, the formulas are subject to a series of reactions that can negatively impact their quality, among them the Maillard reaction. It is the result of chemical reactions between a carbonyl group of the reducing sugar and a free amino group of the protein or amino acid. During prolonged heating or storage of the powdered infant formula, a wide variety of reactive compounds are formed, which can then polymerize with protein residues and form dark pigments or melanoidins. The Maillard reaction is affected by several factors including pH, temperature, water activity, type of reducing sugar and presence of metals. It can result in numerous consequences, such as: an unavailability of amino acids, solubility loss, increase the allergenicity of certain proteins, and even impediment of mineral absorption. Much research is still needed to understand the consequences of the Maillard reaction in powdered infant formulas in order to find solutions that provide foods with high nutritional properties and are safe for the consumer.

“…Compared with the milk fat of other mammals and vegetable oils, human milk fat is the most complex lipid with a unique fatty acid composition and positional distribution on the glycerol backbone of the triacylglycerols (Wei et al., 2019). This unique property of human milk fat provides infants a better absorption of nutrients (essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins) and more developed cognitive and visual function (Happe & Gambelli, 2015; Mu & Høy, 2004; Mu & Porsgaard, 2005).…”

1,3‐dioleolyl‐2‐palmitate (OPO) is an important component of the human milk fat. Its unique fatty acid composition and distribution play an important role in proper infant growth and development. Owing to this, it has been attracting researchers and manufacturers to synthesize and commercialize OPO as an important human milk fat substitute added to infant formulas. In this review, the role of OPO in human milk, the benefits of OPO (sn‐2 palmitate)‐supplemented infant formulas over the conventional infant formulas on infant growth, and lipase‐catalyzed synthesis of OPO are discussed. Over the last 20 years of research on the benefits of OPO (sn2 palmitate)‐supplemented infant formulas are summarized. Similarly, studies carried out on lipase catalyzed production of OPO for the last 21 years (1999–2019) are also done focusing on the raw materials, sn1,3‐regiospecific lipases, immobilization materials, and solvents used in the laboratory‐scale experiments. In addition, OPO‐based products currently in the market and future research trends are briefly covered in this review. Practical applications This work focuses on lipase‐catalyzed synthesis of 1,3‐dioleoyl‐2‐palmitoylglycerol (the most abundant triacyl glycerol in human milk fat) and its benefits to infants when it is added in infant formulas. Over the last 20 years of published research from the literature are summarized and future research trends for efficient OPO synthesis are also covered. This will provide current and future researchers on the field with the necessary background information on OPO synthesis and design their research plans accordingly for cost‐effective production of OPO and OPO‐supplemented infant formulas.
