Breast milk is a unique bioactive substance essential to the development of the newborn's
immature immune and digestive systems. In preterm infants, there are specific benefits …

Abstract Pasteurization, performed at 62.5 C for 30 minutes (holder pasteurization), is
currently recommended in all international human milk banks guidelines, but it affects some …

Background: A mother's own milk (MOM) is the gold standard for the feeding and nutrition of
preterm and full term infants. When MOM is not available or there is not enough, donor …

Donor human milk (DHM) is submitted to Holder pasteurization (HoP) to ensure its
microbiological safety in human milk banks but this treatment affects some of its bioactive …

Donor milk is the best alternative for the feeding of preterm newborns when mother's own
milk is unavailable. For safety reasons, it is usually pasteurized by the Holder method (62.5° …

Infectious and toxicological risks are the main potential hazards that operators of Human
Milk Banks (HMBs) encounter and must eliminate. HMBs are trying to implement procedures …

Background: The main process used to pasteurize human milk is the low-temperature, long-
time Holder method. More recently, the high-temperature, short-time method has been …

The high-temperature short-time (HTST, 72° C, 15 s) pasteurization of human milk (HM) has
been proposed as an alternative to the Holder method (HoP, 62.5° C, 30 min), to increase …

Donor human milk is generally processed by holder pasteurization (HoP) at 62. 5° C for 30
min. This temperature-time combination is sufficient for eliminating pathogens in donor milk …

Objectives: Human milk (HM) feeding leads to improved outcome for preterm infants. When
mother's milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor HM (DHM) is the recommended alternative …
