This study evaluated the effects of a term infant formula containing high sn-2 palmitate term infant formula (sn-2) or an identical formula supplemented with oligofructose (OF) at 2 concentrations (sn-2+3 g/...

Lactose-free probiotic powders were obtained by mixing Bifidobacterium BB-12 suspensions with lactose-free milk powder or and prebiotics (inulin oligofructose). A thorough investigation was performed to know their water sorption properties physical thermal characteristics. By evaluating the properties, Peleg model fitted well experimental data, showing that equilibrium moisture content of incre...
