Phospholipids play key roles in infant nutrition and cognitive development. It is hypothesized that infant formula (IF) has lower phospholipid species, content and milk fat globule (MFG) structural integrity than human milk (HM). Herein, we performed qualitative and quantitative analyses of phospholipids in six classes of IF and HM using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The contents of phosphatidylethanolamine (15.81 ± 7.20 mg/L) and sphingomyelin (35.84 ± 15.56 mg/L) in IF were significantly lower than those in HM (30.74 ± 17.38 mg/L, 45.53 ± 16.04 mg/L, respectively). Among the six IF classes, cow's milk-based IF had the highest number of phospholipid species, and IF containing milk fat globular membrane had the highest phospholipid content. The size, zeta potential, and amount of MFGs in IF were significantly lower than those in HM. These results may prove useful for designing better IF that mimic HM.

To date, there has been limited information on phytoestrogen (PE) exposure and metabolism in breastfed infants. In the present work, 50 sample pairs of Chinese breastfed infants’ urine and the corresponding breast milk were collected. The contents of the relevant PE metabolites in the biosamples were detected via liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The correlations between the PE metabolite contents in breastfed infants’ urine and those in the corresponding breast milk were analyzed. The average concentrations of total PE metabolites in breast milk and urine were 0.27 and 0.23 nmol/mL, respectively. Genistein and enterolactone levels in the infant urine were positively correlated with their concentrations in the corresponding breast milk samples, which implies that urine excretion can be utilized as a noninvasive parameter for precise genistein and enterolactone intake assessment. Additionally, the efficiency of PE urine excretion showed significant differences across infants with different ages, genders, and durations of pregnancy.

Objectives: This study sought to understand the levels of vitamin K in the mature milk of Chinese lactating mothers, thereby providing a foundation for the development of appropriate intake (AI) of vitamin K for infants aged 0–5 months. Methods: Five hundred healthy lactating mothers were selected from the mature milk bank established by the Chinese Maternal and Infant Nutrition and Health Cohort by using a simple random sample procedure. Relevant information about lactating mothers and their infants was obtained by a questionnaire survey. Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 (MK-4 and MK-7) in mature milk were determined by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Results: The total concentration of vitamin K in mature milk was 4.50 (2.85–6.33) ng/mL. The concentrations of vitamin K1, vitamin K2, MK-4, and MK-7 were 2.81 (1.66–4.39) ng/mL, 1.37 (0.75–2.11) ng/mL, 1.20 (0.58–1.97) ng/mL, and 0.13 (0.08–0.19) ng/mL, respectively. The concentration of vitamin K1 was highest and the concentration of MK-7 was lowest. The concentrations of vitamin K2 and MK-4 in mature milk from the south were significantly higher than those in mature milk from the north. The total vitamin K, vitamin K2, and MK-4 concentrations in mature milk of lactating mothers residing in urban areas were higher than those in rural areas. There was a tendency for the concentration of total vitamin K and vitamin K1 to increase with the mother’s age. Moreover, the concentration of MK-4 in mature milk was highest in summer, followed by spring and winter. The levels of vitamin K1 and MK-4 in mature milk were found to be affected by lactation stage; they were highest at 91–120 days and lowest at 31–60 days. Conclusions: Based on the concentration of vitamin K in mature milk found in this study, it is recommended that the appropriate intake of VK for Chinese infants aged 0–5 months is 3.49 μg/d (2.18 μg/d for VK1 and 1.06 μg/d for VK2).

In this study, we analyzed and compared the fat globule interfacial compositions and structures in human milk and three types of infant formulas (IF1: supplied with MFGM , IF2: without MFGM and soy lecithin , IF3: supplied with soy lecithin). The results suggested that the interfacial protein composition of IF1 was comparatively closer to human milk, but still lacked certain bioactive MFGM proteins including XO, ADPH and PAS6/7. Considering the interfacial phospholipid , we observed 23, 31, and 29 phospholipid species that could be used to distinguish human milk and infant formulas (IF1, IF2 and IF3). We also found that phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylserine (PS), which can absorb lipase, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) and connect functional fatty acids, were lacking in infant formulas. Moreover, the infant formulas had a smaller average particle size of 0.38 μm and a thicker interfacial layer that interacted with the casein micelles. Even if IF1 included MFGM, fat globules structures like those found in human milk did not form, and the majority of the MFGM was still in the aqueous phase in free form. Overall, the comprehensive analysis in this study could be used to simulate or mimic human milk lipids at the supramolecular level.

1-Oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-3-linoleoylglycerol (OPL) is a critical structured lipid in human milk fat and it plays an important role in infants' health. The development of an efficient method for such compound preparation is necessary. In this study, one- and two-step methods for OPL production by enzymatic acidolysis of fractionated palm stearin with mixed acids were compared in solvent-free and solvent systems. The results demonstrated that in the solvent system, the OPL contents by the one- and two-step methods were 45.8% and 56.7%, respectively. In the solvent-free system, the one- and two-step methods resulted in the formation of 43.7% and 54.8% OPL, respectively. Subsequently, acidolysis conditions of the two-step method were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the content of OPL was 57.7%, and 83.2% of palmitic acid was at the sn-2 position . The prepared OPL has potential to be applied in infant formulas.

Lactoferrin (LF) content in infant milk powder has been strictly regulated by many governments and there is a need for convenient and reliable assays. Using hybridoma techniques, fourteen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) active against LF were prepared. Two antibodies (mAb2 and mAb3), recognizing spatially distant epitopes of LF, were selected to establish a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A solution of mAb3 (1 μg mL−1) was coated onto micro-titer plates for LF capture while mAb2 labeled with horseradish peroxidase (2.2 μg mL−1) was used as a detection antibody. Under optimized conditions, the proposed sandwich ELISA was evaluated, and linearly responded to LF standards in a range of 5–600 ng mL−1 and the limit of detection was 3.23 ng mL−1. Lactoferrin samples were able to be determined after simple dilution, and the recovery in fortified milk powder averaged between 98% and 109%. The developed assay showed both high specificity (with no obvious cross-reactivity with related proteins) and reproducibility (the coefficient of variation ranged from 4.5% to 7.1%), indicating the utility of this sandwich ELISA in LF monitoring.

The presence of fatty acid esters of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPDE), 2-monochloropropane-1,3-diol (2-MCPDE) and glycidyl (GE) in foods is a potential concern due to their toxicity, especially for infants. This study proposed a rapid, sensitive and environmentally friendly method for simultaneous determination of the 3-/2-MCPDE and GE in breast milk and infant formula using headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and on-fiber derivatization combined with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The approach proved high sensitivity with detection limits of 0.10 μg/L and 0.15 μg/kg for MCPDEs in breast milk and infant formula, respectively. Mean recoveries were obtained ranging from 79.9 to 111.2% for breast milk and from 82.1 to 106.7% for infant formula, with relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 9.5%. According to the levels of 3-MCPDE and GE determined in 30 breast milk and 23 infant formulas, the exposure to 3-MCPDE and GE may pose a potential health risk for infants from birth to <12 months fed by breast milk and infants from birth to 6 months fed by infant formula.

Encapsulation is usually adapted to improve probiotic viability under adverse environmental conditions, and used to ensure adequate amount of probiotics reach the distal gastrointestinal tract and achieve probiotic action. In the present study, sub-species of Bifidobacterium were encapsulated with pectin or alginate by an emulsification/internal gelation method. Bovine milk osteopontin (OPN) was used as an excipient with potential to improve the protection of the probiotics during processing and/or gastrointestinal digestion. Here, we reported that the use of OPN significantly improved probiotic viability during freeze drying and simulated infant gastrointestinal digestion. The viability of Bifidobacterium bifidum R0071 and Bifidobacterium breve M-16V loaded in pectin-based freeze-dried microcapsules with 0.5% OPN addition remained at over 10 6 CFU·g −1 after simulated infant digestion. In comparison, the microcapsules without OPN had a probiotic viability of only 10 3 CFU·g −1 . The protective effect of OPN was proven to be dose dependent. For example, the B. bifidum R0071 viability was 6.1 log CFU·g −1 after the gastrointestinal digestion for the pectin-based microencapsulation without OPN addition, while the value remained at 8.4 log CFU·g −1 when OPN concentration reached 5%. In this study, we also demonstrated that extracellular calcium ions could chelate with OPN molecules which could be attributed to preventing damage of the probiotic cell wall and the improved protective effective of microencapsulation. Overall, these results provide new insight into the use of OPN as a microencapsulation excipient to promote probiotic viability and its potential future application in functional foods such as infant formula with enhanced gut health.

Evidence shows that breast milk microbiota and an infant’s gut microbiota are related. This study aimed to compare the effects of breast milk microbiota on the construction and colonization of gut microbiota in newborns. In this study, 23 healthy infants were selected and divided into a breastfeeding group (13) and a mixed feeding group (10) based on the feeding method within one month of age. Infant fecal and breast milk samples were collected on the day of birth (0 day) and 30 days after birth (30 days) for 16S rRNA second-generation sequencing and SCFA detection. The results showed thatFirmicutesandActinobacteriotaon day 0 andFirmicutesandProteobacteriaon 30 d dominated breast milk gut microbiota. There were correlations between the breast milk microbiota and the infant gut microbiota in each group (p< 0.05). Additionally, breast milk microbiota correlated more significantly with infants’ SCFAs in the breastfeeding group than in the mixed feeding group. This study showed that breast milk microbiota partially influences the construction of infant gut microbiota, with some key strains having a crucial influence, such asLactobacillus,Bifidobacterium, andEnterobacter. However, the effect of breast milk microbiota on infant gut microbiota is not through direct strain transmission but has been indirectly influenced, which may be related to the cross-feeding effect mediated by SCFAs.Keywords:infant;gut microbiota;breastfeeding;SCFAs

Structured triacylglycerols (TAGs), rich in 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO) and 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-3-linoleoylglycerol (OPL), were prepared by enzymatic acidolysis of fractionated palm stearin with free fatty acids . The effects of enzyme type, substrate molar ratio, enzyme load, temperature, and reaction time on the yields of OPO and OPL, palmitic acid (PA) content at the sn- 2 position of TAG, and the percentage of PA at the sn- 2 position relative to total PA content were investigated. Under optimal reaction conditions (palm stearin/oleic acid/linoleic acid molar ratio of 1:8:4, lipase NS 40086 loading of 8%, 60 °C, 4 h), the combined yields of OPO and OPL was 69.26%, PA content at the sn- 2 position reached 87.75%, and the relative percentage of PA at the sn- 2 position was up to 71.07%. The synthesized TAGs have potential to be used in infant formulas.

Herein, a modified indirect method was established for the determination of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol esters (3-MCPDEs) and glycidyl esters (GEs), employing magnetic solid phase extraction by boronic acid-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles to replace the traditional clean-up procedure. Compared with routine methods, it has been proved to be more sensitive with limits of detection in the range of 0.02–1.5 μg/kg and less susceptible to contamination of phenylboronic acid derivatives and fatty acid methyl esters. The proposed method was applied to analyze 42 samples covering the entire infant formula (IF) production chain. Results revealed that homogenization process contributed 79–91 % of the total growth of the contaminants due to the vegetable oil addition, while the following evaporation and spray-drying processes contributed 9–21 % of the total growth owing to involved heat treatment. The GE levels in final IF products exceeded the maximum level set by EU regulation 2020/1322, indicating quality safety concerns in the production chain.

Background The gut is the most extensively studied niche of the human microbiome. The aim of this study was to characterise the initial gut microbiota development of a cohort of breastfed infants ( n = 192) from 1 to 24 weeks of age. Methods V4-V5 region 16S rRNA amplicon Illumina sequencing and, in parallel, bacteriological culture. The metabolomic profile of infant urine at 4 weeks of age was also examined by LC-MS. Results Full-term (FT), spontaneous vaginally delivered (SVD) infants’ microbiota remained stable at both phylum and genus levels during the 24-week period examined. FT Caesarean section (CS) infants displayed an increased faecal abundance of Firmicutes ( p < 0.01) and lower abundance of Actinobacteria ( p < 0.001) after the first week of life compared to FT-SVD infants. FT-CS infants gradually progressed to harbouring a microbiota closely resembling FT-SVD (which remained stable) by week 8 of life, which was maintained at week 24. The gut microbiota of preterm (PT) infants displayed a significantly greater abundance of Proteobacteria compared to FT infants ( p < 0.001) at week 1. Metabolomic analysis of urine at week 4 indicated PT-CS infants have a functionally different metabolite profile than FT (both CS and SVD) infants. Co-inertia analysis showed co-variation between the urine metabolome and the faecal microbiota of the infants. Tryptophan and tyrosine metabolic pathways, as well as fatty acid and bile acid metabolism, were found to be affected by delivery mode and gestational age. Conclusions These findings confirm that mode of delivery and gestational age both have significant effects on early neonatal microbiota composition. There is also a significant difference between the metabolite profile of FT and PT infants. Prolonged breastfeeding was shown to have a significant effect on the microbiota composition of FT-CS infants at 24 weeks of age, but interestingly not on that of FT-SVD infants. Twins had more similar microbiota to one another than between two random infants, reflecting the influence of similarities in both host genetics and the environment on the microbiota.
