Human milk (HM) feeding leads to improved outcome for preterm infants. When mother's milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor HM (DHM) is the recommended alternative over formula. The Holder pasteurization (HoP) method is universally performed in HM banks; however, it is known to impair several functional HM components. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of HoP with 2 innovative processing methods (high-temperature short-time [HTST] pasteurization and high-pressure processing [HPP]) in preserving some bioactive HM protein components.

Abstract
Human milk (HM) feeding leads to improved outcome for preterm infants. When mother's milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor HM (DHM) is the recommended alternative over formula. The Holder pasteurization (HoP) method is universally performed in HM banks; however, it is known to impair several functional HM components. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of HoP with 2 innovative processing methods (high-temperature short-time [HTST] pasteurization and high-pressure processing [HPP]) in preserving some bioactive HM protein components.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
