High impact information on Infant Food

• Bioavailability of iron glycine as a fortificant in infant foods [1].
• Full-term milk composition is the basis for the design of preterm infant foods, but full-term milk is different from the placental product that is rich in AA and DHA [2].
• The development and prediction of atopy in high-risk children: follow-up at age seven years in a prospective randomized study of combined maternal and infant food allergen avoidance [3].
• Manganese nutrition in the neonatal period is poorly understood, due in part to a lack of information on the amount of manganese in infant foods and its bioavailability [4].
• It is concluded that in view of their levels in breast milk, the polyenoic derivatives of linoleic and linolenic acids must be taken into account when assessing infant foods [5].

Biological context of Infant Food

• The purpose of this study was to analyse the fluoride content of Japanese infant foods and foods in Brazil and to estimate daily fluoride intake calculated for a 6-month-old infant which reflects supplemental fluoride increased from infant foods and decreasing breast-feeding and commercial milk-feeding [6].

Associations of Infant Food with chemical compounds

• Dichloromethane extracts of tomato, carrot, and vegetable juices, a vitamin drink, and a commercial infant food product were analyzed by LC/MS [7].
• Dietary surveys for children aged six months to two years are similarly inconclusive, though the great variation in fluoride content of various infant foods might be obscuring real effects [8].
• Soy products, which contain the phytoestrogens, genistein and daidzein, are becoming increasingly popular as infant foods [9].
• A 1978 household survey and a 1981 survey of stores and health facilities document the availability of breast milk substitutes, promotion of infant food and formula through the medical sector, and the effects of such promotion on the infant-feeding practices of mothers in the Bicol region of the Philippines [10].
• The detection limits achieved were 1 microg/L for paraoxon and 10 microg/L for parathion, which is according to EC regulations the highest tolerable pesticide concentration in infant food [11].

Gene context of Infant Food

• METHODS: The effect of casein phosphopeptides on calcium and zinc absorption from infant foods was investigated [12].
• Rice may be a useful vehicle to introduce recombinant human lactoferrin to infant foods because it has low allergenicity and is likely to be safer than using microorganisms or transgenic animals [13].
• There are indications for some beneficial effects of functional foods on the developing immune response, for example induced by antioxidant vitamins, trace elements, fatty acids, arginine, nucleotides, and altered antigen contents in infant foods [14].
• Corn-based infant foods containing cornmeal, corn starch, and corn flour were purchased in the city of Campinas, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and were analyzed for fumonisins B1 (FB1), B2 (FB2), and B3 (FB3) following extraction with a range of solvents [15].
• Studies on the development of infant foods from plant protein sources. Part III. Preparation, processing and properties of various products developed [16].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Infant Food

• Accelerated solvent extraction and confirmatory analysis of sulfonamide residues in raw meat and infant foods by liquid chromatography electrospray tandem mass spectrometry [17].
• The method was verified by analysis of NBS Standard Reference Materials; recovery from 28 spiked infant foods (average = 99%, range = 75-135%); and comparison of results with colorimetry results for the same diffusates, after modification to handle 1 g samples [18].
