Does Infant Formula Availability Reduce Breastfeeding?
… poor in developing countries, where vulnerable infants' access to proper nutrition is vital. We investigate the effect of introducing infant formula into a market on changes in breastfeeding patterns. Using the Demographic Health Surveys and annual reports from the baby food industry between …

Analysis of Nucleosides and Nucleotides in Milk and Infant Formula
Nucleotides have been routinely supplemented to infant formulas due to the important roles they play in metabolism and to replicate the higher concentrations typically found in human milk. A method utilising anion exchange solid-phase extraction clean-up and liquid chromatography was developed for …

Physicochemical properties of whey protein hydrolysates and their applications in infant formula
… hydrolysates (WPHs) play a pivotal role in infant formula development, offering enhanced functionality and nutritional benefits. WPHs produced using various enzymes were characterised and applied in infant formula model emulsions. This study aimed to fill the gaps in the current knowledge of …

Development of a novel cyanide-free method for analysis of vitamin B₁₂ in milk-based infant formula
The analysis of vitamin B₁₂ in infant formulas requires the use of cyanide during the sample preparation process to convert the three unstable vitamers (hydroxocobalamin, methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin) to cyanocobalamin, the most stable form of vitamin B₁₂. The undesirable handling of …

Risk factors associated with the exposure of neonates to acinetobacters through the ingestion of infant formula in NICUs
… health due to the consumption of powdered infant formula (PIF). The ingestion of contaminated infant formula is a particularly unexplored mechanism of acquiring Acinetobacter infections. Therefore, this research work aimed to analyse the potential risk factors associated with the …

The 2022 infant formula shortage in the United States: An exploration of infant feeding policy changes, policymakers' attention, and the lived experiences of caregivers
Most infants (0 to 12 months) in the United States (US) are fed a combination of breastmilk and infant formula. In February 2022, contaminated formula at an Abbott Nutrition plant in Michigan catalyzed a shortage, which created hardships for families and exposed infant formula and breastfeeding …

Understanding how Infant Formula Information, Communication Channels, and Traditional Health Beliefs Affect Exclusive Breastfeeding Practices among Women in Palawan, the Philippines: A Convergent-parallel Mixed Methods Study
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) means that infants should only receive breast milk for the first six months of life. It is essential for both maternal and child health. In the Philippines, although various institutions have reported differing EBF rates, the overall prevalence remains low. According …

Microencapsulation of tributyrin to improve sensory qualities and intestinal delivery
… TB, 2) measure which TB microcapsule formulation imparts the least overall sensory difference in an infant formula system, 3) determine the site of intestinal delivery and release of butyrate from microencapsulated TB, and 4) determine the sensory properties of food products containing …

Comparative analysis of Cronobactor sp. with respect to genomic diversity and physiology
… care units have been traced to powdered infant formula contaminated with Cronobacter species, causing life-threatening diseases such as necrotizing enterocolitis and meningitis. This study for the first time presents growth data and whole genome comparisons for five different species of …

A nutritional evaluation and optimisation of infant foods using microencapsulation
… reliance on commercially marketed complementary infant foods in the UK, which has been highlighted by the Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children. The current nutritional labelling formats for ready-to-eat complementary infant foods are a duplicate of the legislative requirements …

The Impact of Processing on the Content and Composition of Bovine Milk Extracellular Vesicles
<p>Bovine milk (BM)-based formula is an alternative for many newborns who do not consume human milk. BM contains extracellular vesicles (EVs), bioactive compounds involved in intercellular communication which regulate critical developmental processes in early life. It was hypothesized that the …

The effects of dietary protein source on the development of cholesterol metabolism
… protein source may have on cholesterol levels in infants. The research of this thesis addresses the following questions; (1) do infant formula proteins affect blood lipids in young animals, (2) is there a permanent response of protein consumed during childhood on adult cholesterol metabolism, and …

Effects of early nutrition on the wnt and bone morphogenic protein pathways in the developing intestine
Infant formula is consumed by the majority of infants in the United States for at least part of the first year of life. Infant formula lacks many of the bioactive compounds that are naturally occurring in breast milk. Because of this, there has been an increased interest by the companies that …
