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 …

Human milk is uniquely optimized for the needs of the developing infant. Its composition is
complex and dynamic, driven primarily by maternal genetics, and to a lesser extent by diet …

In vitro digestion assays simulate the physiological conditions of digestion in vivo and are
useful tools for studying and understanding changes, interactions, as well as the …

In vitro digestion models are widely used to study the structural changes, digestibility, and
release of food components under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. However, the …

The human newborn infant is susceptible to gut inflammatory disorders. In particular, growth-
restricted infants or infants born prematurely may develop a severe form of intestinal …

During the past 50 years, there has been increased interest in liposomes as carriers of
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural products. More recently, much progress has been …

Milk lipids supply most of the calories necessary for newborn growth in maternal milk or
infant formulas. The chemical composition of infant formulas has been optimized but not the …

Background In vitro digestion models show great promise in facilitating the rationale design
of foods. This paper provides a look into the current state of the art and outlines possible …

The provision of essential and non-essential amino acids for breast-fed infants is the major
function of milk proteins. In addition, breast-fed infants might benefit from bioactivities of milk …

Background Human milk is recommended as the optimal source of nutrition for babies up to
six months of age, as it provides individualized, specific and abundant nutritional …
