Faster weight gain early in infancy may contribute to a greater risk of later obesity in formula-fed compared to breast-fed infants. One potential explanation for the difference in weight gain is higher macronutrient intake in formula-fed infants during the first weeks of life. A systematic review was conducted using Medline to assess the macronutrient and energy content plus volume of intake i...

The iron content of breast milk is often characterized as low. In fact, the amount of iron provided by breast milk appears to be adequate to prevent iron deficiency anemia for at least the first 6 months of life. However, if the same amount of iron is given in any food other than breast milk, this amount is inadequate and iron deficiency anemia does occur. Thus, iron in breast milk seems to be ...

Breakfast beverages with different nutrient compositions may affect postprandial glycemic control differently. We assessed the effects of consuming (1) common breakfast beverages (water, sugar-sweetened coffee, reduced-energy orange juice (OJ), and low-fat milk (LFM)); and (2) fat-free, low-fat, and whole milk with breakfast on postprandial plasma glucose and insulin responses in adults who wer...

Radioisotopic analyses for carnitine content were done on infant formula, formulas for tube feeding, food supplements, and chemically defined diets. The carnitine content of the diets depend on the protein source. Products whose main protein source is soy protein isolate, casein, or egg white solids contain 4 nmole carnitine per milliliter or less, with most of them containing undetectable amou...

Infant formula is an important food for those infants who are deprived of breast milk. However, infant powder prone to fly apart, moisture absorption, sticky spoon, and inaccurate measurement. Block can solve these problems well. In this study, the characteristics (including particle structure morphology, content, size, etc.) were investigated on compressive strength solubility block after comp...

Promotion and protection of breastfeeding is an important strategy in prevention of Vitamin A (Retinol) deficiency in childhood. Breast milk retinol’s allows us the chance to reach the maternal nutritional status and go over infant status. This study aimed to know the retinol and fat content in mature breast milk from Novo Cruzeiro’s population, Brazil. It was analyzes 63 samples of breast milk...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of coffee bean roast on the acceptability of a dairy-based espresso drink.
