Abstract

The whey protein concentrates (WPC), prepared by ultrafiltration and by diafiltration of sweet whey and by ultrafiltration of demineralized whey, are used for proteins' modification of cow's milk, according to human milk proteins pattern. From WPCprepared, skim milk, cream, lactose and mixture of some vegetable oils, some mixtures for preparation of liquid infant formulae, based on computer data processing (by linear programming method) are proposed. For this purpose, chemical composition and mineral matter (Ca, P, Na, K and Mg) of some ingredients were determined. Composition of liquid infant formulae similar to the composition of human milk is also proposed. The proposed 1.5% of proteins (ratio of casein: whey protein 35:65%), 7% of lactose, 0.2% of mineral matter and 3.7% of fat (mixture of milk fat with some vegetable oils) for infant fomulae may satisfy optimal intake of essential aminoacids, fatty acids and optimal energy intake in the infant intestines. However, some corrections are necessary: certain mineral matters have to be added in liquid infant formulae, that would adjust the ratio (the most important is Ca/P) and provide optimal resorption of mineral matters in the infant intestines.
