Sažetak
Contrary to the recommendation of breastfeeding as the best type of infant feeding up to 6 months of age, more than 75% of children are also being given industrial substitute products. The purpose of this paper is to examine the microelement contents in infant formula, adapted infant milk and cereal-based infant food available on the Croatian market; to compare the suitability of products concerning the recommended daily intake with the daily intake solely through breastfeeding. The other purpose is to examine the influence of
different temperature values used for product rehydration The multielemental analytical technique of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used for quantification. The levels of iron, manganese and selenium vary considerably while the levels of copper and zinc are fairly uniform. Follow-on milk statistically contains considerably higher levels of iron than infant formula, while the average daily intake of follow-on milk and one meal of cereal-based infant food satisfies 75% of infant need for iron in the
following six months. Daily intake of zinc exceeds the highest tolerable daily intake level while the daily intake of manganese in 3 months old infants is 40 times higher than what is considered tolerable. A third of the products do not ensure half of the recommended daily intake of selenium for infants up to 6 months old.
The influence of temperature on the decrease of microelement levels has not been statistically confirmed.
