Scanning electron microscopic appearance of infant milk formula indicated that mostly agglomerate with few or more diverse number of particles and also apple like as well as typical feature of drying in raw milk. Small particle of infant milk formula become agglomerate progressively. Some sample represent crystalline rectangular among the globular agglomerates which seem to be a different composites or those of solubility. Some sample showed the irregular porosity at central sec-scanning electron microscopic study between Korea and European products.

In Korea, the concerns about the consumption of soy-based infant formulas have received considerable public attention. In has been known that the n-3/n-6 ratio of soy has a beneficial effect on the health. This study was conducted to investigate whether the soy-based infant formula has an effect on the composition of fatty acids in erythrocytes with regard to the plasma lipid levels in full-term infants. The infants who were delivered at Kyung Hee Medical Center were recruited. Experimental groups were the breast milk group(n=17), soy-based infant formula group(n=12) and casein-based infant formula group(n=19). Anthrophometic and dietary assessments were performed and the composition of RBC fatty acids and blood lipid levels were measured. The body weight, length, chest circumference and head circumference of the subjects were normal growth range showing no significant difference among the experimental groups. The ratio of n-3/n-6 ratio in breast milk, soy-based infant formula and casein-based infant formula were 0.11, 0.14 and 0.13, respectively. N-3/n-6 ratio of the subjects erythrocyte fatty acids for each groups were 0.18, 0.21 and 0.17, respectively. Most of the fatty acids of erythrocyte were not significantly different among the three experimental groups. The blood lipid levels of each experimental group were normal range. The total lipid level of casein-based formula group was higher than that of other experimental groups and LDL-cholesterol level of soy-based formula group was the lowest among the three groups.

This was a prospective cohort study of 976 infants from birth to 12 months of age. Infants were fed breast milk, goat infant formula, cow infant formula, or a combination of formula and breast milk during the first 4 months of age. Data on type of milk feeding and infant growth (weight and height) were collected at birth and at 4, 8, and 12 months during routine clinical assessment. The number and consistency of bowel motions per day were recorded based on observational data supplied by the mothers. Infants fed breast milk or goat or cow infant formula during the first 4 months displayed similar growth outcomes. More of the infants fed cow infant formula had fewer and more well-formed bowel motions compared with breast-fed infants. The stool characteristics of infants fed goat formula resembled those of infants fed breast milk.

Purpose: Breastfeeding is the best way to feed all infants, but not all infants can be (exclusively) breastfed. Cow's milk based infant formula is the second choice infant feeding. Methods: The safety of a new synbiotic infant formula, supplemented with Bifidobacterium lactis and fructo-oligosaccharides, with lactose and a whey/casein 60/40 protein ratio was tested in 280 infants during 3 months. Results: The median age of the infants at inclusion was 0.89 months. Weight evolution was in accordance with the World Health Organization growth charts for exclusive breastfed infants. The evolution of all anthropometric parameters (weight-for-length z score and body mass index-for-age z score) was within the normal range. The incidence of functional constipation (3.2%), daily regurgitation (10.9%), infantile crying and colic (10.5%) were all significantly lower than the reported median prevalence for a similar age according to literature (median value of 7.8% for functional constipation, 26.7% for regurgitation, 17.7% for infantile colic). Conclusion: The new synbiotic infant starter formula was safe, resulted in normal growth and was well tolerated. Functional gastro-intestinal manifestations (functional constipation, regurgitation and colic) were significantly lower than reported in literature. Synbiotics (Bifidobacterium lactis and fructo-oligosaccharides) in cow's milk based infant formula bring the second choice infant feeding, formula, closer to the golden standard, exclusive breastfeeding.

I experimented on commercial infant formula in passive cutaneous anaphylaxis inhibition methods. I used several guinea pigs for this experiment. The results obtained from this study were as follows : 1) Commercial infant formula showed positive reactions, while soy-based formula showed negative reactions. 2) The products from different companies showed different reactions respectively The products of "A" company showed low allergenicity compared to the products of "B" company. The Products of "C" company showed the lowest allergenicity. 3) It seemed to be that the differences of allergenicity among the products by various companies were caused by the differences of the materials used, the combination ratio of materials, the heat treatment level, and manufacturing processes., and manufacturing processes.

Human milk contains the nutrients for the growth and the development of the newborn. It contains specific proteins, lipids, and other components designed to be easily digestible and which play important roles in infant nutrition. However, when the lactation is failure or milk secretion is not enough, bovine milk based dried formulations, which is called infant formula, have been widely used for infant feeding. In this study, we investigated protein composition and amino acids profile related to easy digestion; fatty acids composition and LCPUFA(DHA and ARA) related to brain and eye development; synbiotics which take advantage of both probiotics and prebiotics; and colostrum-originated functional micronutrient as major issues in the recent infant formula. Domestic infant formulas, which are based on the research of human and bovine milk rich in functional components for immunity, growth, anti-allergenicity, digestion and brain development, have been developed to be similar to human milk.

A survey to determine the zinc content of early-infant food sources was conducted. Collected samples from various lots were human milk from volunteer mothers and infant formula and market milk from markets. The determined results by Atomic absorption Spectrophotometer were as follows: 1. Averages of Zn were 201$\pm$144 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in human milk, 2.243$\pm$0.888 mg/100g in infant formula, 292$\pm$90$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in market milk and showed the decline trend by the lactation periods in human milk. (p<0.01) 2. Estimated daily intake of Zn from human milk was higher than that from infant formula in 3 months old infants.

국내 조제분유에서 초분 함량의 법적 기준 설정에 관한 과학적 근거를 살펴보고자 하였다. 국내 조제분유는 국제규격 CODEX와 미국 USDA등에서 다루고 있는 초분 또는 이물질에 대한 규격을 엄격히 따르고 있다. 그러나 국내 법규에서는 초분에 대한 용어 설명 및 성분 규격이 마련되어 있지 않아 초분에 관한 영유아식품의 안전성에 대해 사회적 관심이 점차 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 국내 조제분유 유래의 초분 조성과 함량을 SEM-EDS 분석법과 ICP-MS 분석법을 통해 확인하였다. 그 결과 초분의 미네랄은 조제분유에서 사용하는 원료 유래의 C, O, Ca, Na, Fe, Mg을 비롯한 미량 원소로 구성되어짐을 확인하였다. 조제분유는 원유, 탈지유, 유청분말, 혼합식물성 유지, 미네랄류 및 비타민류로 구성되어 있다. 국내 조제분유의 초분 함량은 국외 조제분유에서 보고되는 수준 또는 그 이하이며, 초분 유래 미량 성분으로서 중금속은 조제분유의 미네랄 공급원으로 사용되는 종류이다. 그러므로 국내 조제분유 내 초분의 조성과 함량은 FAO/WHO에서 설정한 잠정주당섭취량(PTWI)에 대하여 거의 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 사료된다.

The storage stability of the developed Formula of infant foods was investigated. The results are summarized as follows : When formula A and B were stored at room temperature and refrigeration temperature, there was no remarkable changes in consistency. In frozen state, formula A showed more stability in consistency than formula B and formula A could be stored for 6 months without problems due to retrogradation of starch. The heat treatment of both A and B resulted in the increase of a-value, while L-and b-value showed no such change. But from the 4th month at room temperature, and 5th to 6th month at refrigeration appeared an increase in a -value, hence the browning reaction, while frozen samples did not show noticeable changes in surface color. The heat treatment also caused an increase in POV on both formula. The extent of changes in POV during storage varied with storage temperatures and samples.

Enterobacter sakazakii, Salmonella typhimurium. and Bacillus cereus were evaluated on inoculated infant formula by gamma irradiation treatment as a method to provide microbial safety. The infant formula inoculated with the major pathogenic bacteria was treated at irradiation dose of 0, 3, 5, and 10 kGy, respectively. After treatment, the samples were individually packaged and stored at $20^{\circ}C$. Microbiological data during storage represented that the populations of E. sakazakii, S. typhimurium, and B. cereus were reduced with the increase of irradiation dose by 4 to 5 log reductions. In particular, E. sakazakii, S. typhimurium. and B. cereus were eliminated at 10, 5, and 3 kGy, respectively. E. sakazakii was the most radiation-resistant, while B. cereus was the least. Our results represent that gamma irradiation below 10 kGy should eliminate the growth of the major pathogenic bacteria in infant formula during storage.
