What is Effects of Milk Banking Procedures on Nutritional and Bioactive Components of Donor Human Milk about?
Pasteurized donor human milk is in wide use for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units when maternal milk is unavailable. Pasteurization of donor milk is required to prevent bacterial contamination, and multiple methods are used in the non-profit and commercial milk banking industries. Pasteurization results in changes in the nutrient and bioactive components in donor milk compared to unpasteurized human milk, and these changes vary by the type of pasteurization process. Other milk bank practices including freezing of milk, pooling of milk from multiple donors and use of pre-processing macronutrient analysis also affect the nutritional composition of donor milk. This review compiles evidence regarding three common pasteurization techniques for donor milk: Holder pasteurization, vat pasteurization, and retort pasteurization and their effects on the nutritional content and bioactive factors in human milk. It also includes review of literature investigating the impact of freezing and storage, and best practices for multi-donor milk pooling.
