Background: The traditional dairy-cattle-based industry is becoming increasingly diversified
with milk and milk products from non-cattle dairy species. The interest in non-cattle milks has …

Foods consist of a large number of different nutrients that are contained in a complex
structure. The nature of the food structure and the nutrients therein (ie, the food matrix) will …

Developing a mechanistic understanding of the impact of food structure and composition on
human health has increasingly involved simulating digestion in the upper gastrointestinal …

The gold standard for nutrition studies is clinical trials but they are expensive and variable,
and do not always provide the mechanistic information required, hence the increased use of …

In vitro alternatives to clinical trials are used for studying human food digestion. For
simulating infant digestion, only a few models, lacking physiological relevance, are …

The first commercial infant formula, invented in 1867, contained lipids mainly from cow's
milk. We now know that human milk fat differs from the milk fat of other mammals and even …

Dietary fats and oils are an important component of our diet and a significant contributor to
total energy and intake of lipophilic nutrients and bioactives. We discuss their fate in a wide …

Human milk (HM) provides all nutrients to support an optimal growth and development of the
neonate. The composition and structure of HM lipids, the most important energy provider …

In this study, we analyzed and compared the fat globule interfacial compositions and
structures in human milk and three types of infant formulas (IF1: supplied with MFGM, IF2 …

Human breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infant growth and development.
Breast milk fats and their downstream derivatives of fatty acids and fatty acid-derived …
