The Composition of Human Milk as a Model for the Design of Infant Formulas: Recent Findings and Possible Applications

Health Advantages of Breast Feeding for Infants: a Critical Review

“…Experimental trials in which certain constituents of human milk are added to infant formulas would help to elucidate the mechanisms for the health effects of breast feeding. However, it is unlikely that such formulas will be able to mimic completely the physiological properties of human milk (Goedhart & Bindels, 1994). Finally, given that many studies have focused primarily on homogeneous populations of infants from upper income, highly educated families, it is important to examine the effect of infant feeding practices in more diverse populations.…”

Effect of extrusion conditions on physical and chemical properties of high protein glutinous rice-based snack

“…Besides protein nitrogen (PN), NPN represents an important fraction in product that determines protein quality (Periago, Ros, Martinez, & Rincon, 1996). The NPN involves a wide group of components, including urea, ammonium salts, single amino acids, small peptides, amines, amides and nucleotides (Goedhart & Bindels, 1994) and all of them end in ammonium as the final chemical form. Conesa, Periago, Ros, and Lopez (2005) noted that industrial processing such as severe heating (>70 C) led to a significant increase in NPN (P 0.01).…”

Multidimensional analysis of denatured milk proteins by hydrophobic interaction chromatography coupled to a dynamic surface tension detector

“…In the specific case of milk proteins in diary samples, the analysis of the samples in native conditions, where only caseins are surface active, and in denaturing conditions (e.g., 5.0 M GdmHCl), where casein and whey proteins are surface active, could provide a fast, quantitative measure of the casein/whey protein ratio, a fundamental parameter in the basic process of the preparation of infant formulae from cow's milk [57].…”
