Embodiment 1

[0077]A liquid sample (100ml) of the human milk sample was collected. Human milk was collected from mothers of preterm infants or from human milk donors at >10 and <90 days postpartum, respectively. Milk samples were collected from milk expressed from the udder over the course of a day. The basic composition of this milk can be summarized as follows: 3.8% fat, 0.8% protein and 5.2% carbohydrates. Determine the actual energy content of the milk samples. The non-aqueous part of the milk (cream fat) was separated from the water part by centrifugation (10000rpm, 4°C) and the top layer (cream fat) was carefully removed and a known volume was added to 140ml of the mother's own milk to increase the energy in her milk levels up to the recommended levels for premature infants of a specific weight and age.

[0078] Premature babies can be observed to grow and develop similarly to what happens in the womb.

[0079] In addition, pasteurization and standard hospital-grade bacterial tes...

Embodiment 2

[0081] A liquid sample (150ml) of the human milk sample was collected. Human milk was collected from mothers of infants with special needs (preterm infants or sick full-term infants) at >10 and <90 days postpartum, respectively. Milk samples were collected from milk expressed from the udder over the course of a day. The basic composition of this milk can be summarized as follows: 3.8% fat, 0.8% protein and 5.2% carbohydrates. Determining the concentration of protein in milk samples. The non-aqueous part (cream) of the milk was separated from the water part by centrifugation (10000 rpm, 4°C) and the top layer (cream) was carefully removed. The aqueous layer was then concentrated by passing it through a milk protein impermeable filter. The filters used were 30 Kd Omega ultrafiltration tangential flow membranes from Pall. Filtration was performed at low temperature, ie 19°C. Concentrate the water portion by performing two 9-hour run trials on the final protocol. The average...

Embodiment 3

[0085] A liquid sample (500ml) of the human milk sample was collected. Human milk was collected from human milk donors who were more than 90 days postpartum. Milk samples were taken from milk expressed from the udder over the course of several days and stored frozen. The basic composition of this milk can be summarized as follows: 3.8% fat, 0.8% protein and 5.2% carbohydrates. Determination of protein concentration in milk samples. The non-aqueous part (cream) of the milk was separated from the water part by centrifugation (10000 rpm, 4°C) and the top layer (cream) was carefully removed. The aqueous layer is then concentrated by passing it through a filter impermeable to milk proteins. The same type of filter and temperature as in Example 2 are preferably used. After the water fraction was concentrated 5 times in the same manner as described in Example 2, the concentrated solution was centrifuged at a high speed, ie, 210,000 rpm, at 4°C to precipitate the casein fraction. ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for analysing and treating human milk to be fed to an infant comprising the steps of collecting own mother's milk, taking a sample of the collected own mother's milk, conducting nutritional analysis on said sample, using the collected own mother's milk as nutrition for the infant and using the collected own mother's milk in the form of at least one of the group of: unchanged own mother's milk, fortified own mother's milk, unchanged components of own mother's milk and fortified components of own mother's milk, wherein said form is chosen depending on at least some of said results of the analysis and said infant's condition, the infants condition being chosen from at least one of the following parameters: infant's age, infant's weight, infant's health, infant's shortcomings, infant's deficiencies, time of day when the milk is fed to the infant.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods of analyzing and processing human milk to be fed to infants. It also relates to a system for processing the results of nutritional analysis of collected human milk samples. technical background [0002] Human milk is generally considered the best food for infants due to its nutritional composition and immunological advantages. Milk from a baby's own mother is considered an ideal food for babies of all ages, and the same applies to premature, low-birth-weight babies in early neonatal intensive care units. [0003] If the baby cannot be fed on his own mother's milk, donor milk is considered the next best thing. However, it has been found that donor milk does not always supply the proper mix of nutrients and immune components, especially for premature infants. [0004] It was also found that premature human milk was significantly deficient in several components such as calcium, phosphorus and protein. It is the...
