Bitterness in Evaporated Milk

Eighteen-month follow-up of infants fed evaporated milk formula.

In parts of Canada including Newfoundland and Labrador and among Aboriginal peoples, infants still consume evaporated milk (EM) formulas for cultural and economic reasons. At 3 and 6 months, full-term infants fed EM (n = 30) received low intakes of iron, thiamine, selenium and had higher weight velocity than breastfed (BF, n = 29) infants. EM infants had greater anemia, lowered transketolase ac...

Sensing bacteria, without bitterness?

In addition to their recognized roles in intra- and inter-species signaling, bacterial quorum-sensing molecules have been implicated in inter-kingdom signaling. A new study in Pseudomonas aeruginosa suggests that mammalian bitter taste receptors may recognize bacterial quorum sensing molecules, and widens the scope of such inter-kingdom communication. Intestinal cells also harbor these receptor...

Clinical and biochemical assessment of a modified evaporated milk for infant feeding.

A clinical and biochemical evaluation has been made of a new milk formula, Modified Carnation milk (MCM), based on cows' milk but with the mineral content and concentration of caloric nutrients altered to make it correspond more closely to human milk. MCM produced higher plasma calcium and magnesium concentrations in 6-day-old infants than those produced by unmodified evaporated and dried milks...
