Objective: To evaluate the integrity of the human milk (pH, bacterial counts, host defense
factors and nutrients) subjected to thawing, warming, refrigeration and maintenance at room …

OBJECTIVE: To provide recommendations for refrigerator storage of human milk, the overall
integrity (bacterial growth, cell counts, and component concentrations) of milk was examined …

Objective To examine the integrity (pH, bacterial counts, host defense factors, nutrient
contents, and osmolality) of freshly expressed and previously refrigerated human milk …

Objective: Long-term storage of human milk (HM) requires freezing at low temperatures, the
consequences of which upon macronutrients are unclear. To test the null hypothesis that HM …

Objectives: In the last few years, it has been proved that human milk contains bacteria that
constitute an important factor in the initiation and development of the neonatal gut …

Human milk is the best source of nutrition for infants. Lower freezing temperatures and faster
freezing rates allow for better preservation of human milk. However, research on the freezing …

Storage of human breast milk by freezing or refrigeration of milk with and without heating
have been recommended. This can hardly be avoided because of the social circumstances …

Background. Women who breastfeed have to store expressed milk while at work for later
feeding to their infants; however, storage conditions are often not optimal. Objective. To …

Background: Most protective components in human milk are stable during prolonged
storage at 4ºC; however, pasteurization reduces some microbicidal activities responsible for …

The composition of human milk is influenced by storage and processing practices. The
effects of thawing and warming practices on human milk composition remain poorly studied …
