The present invention relates to the field of infant nutrition. Particularly, the present invention relates to infant formula comprising human milk oligosaccharides wherein the infant formula is specific for infants aged 0-36 months at different lactation stages. The invention also relates to lactation stage specific systems and methods of providing nutrition to an infant.

The disclosure features human milk fortifier compositions, standardized human milk, and methods of making and using same. In one embodiment, a pasteurized human milk composition includes a human protein constituent of about 35-85 mg/mL; a human fat constituent of about 60-110 mg/mL; and a human carbohydrate constituent of about 60-140 mg/mL.

The disclosure provides a simple and effective methods for sterilization of milk without degradation or loss of biologically active agents in the milk and the products produced by such methods.

A colostrum solid extraction process utilizes rennet coagulation prior to pH adjustment to alter the protein profile resulting in an animal feed supplement which enhances feed efficiency and general health. Rennet coagulation is used to produce extracted whey from colostrum. A pH of the extracted whey is adjusted by cooling the extracted whey to below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, adding an first solution to lower the pH of the extracted whey to 4.2 pH, adding a second solution to lower the pH of the extracted whey to 2.5 pH, agitating the extracted whey after reaching 2.5 pH, resting the extracted whey after agitation, and adding a third solution to raise the pH of the extracted whey to 4.2 pH.

A flexible and collapsible liquid storage bag comprising front and back walls formed from a sheet material is described wherein a front wall and a back wall are joined along a perimeter of the bag and are also joined at a joined center portion proximate the centers of the respective front and back sheets. The bags are typically used in the storage, heat-treatment and dispensing of bovine colostrum.

The present disclosure relates to human milk compositions and methods of making and using the same. In particular, the disclosure features methods of using human milk compositions to feed subjects before and/or after surgery or medical operations and that are useful in promoting recovery.

Disclosed are methods of providing nutrition to infants, as well as sterilized liquid protein supplements including extensively hydrolyzed casein for use with human milk and other infant feeding formulas. The sterilized liquid protein supplements have a low pH, thereby inhibiting protein denaturation and reducing microbial growth.

A dairy product, including drinking milk, yogurt, cheese, sour cream, whipping cream, dry milk powder, coffee creamer, ice-cream, kefir, or butter, made from a human mother's milk as its base component. Where the milk has been tested for absence of undesirable chemicals, including prescription medication, illicit drugs, nicotine, and alcohol. With the prescription medication including lithium, chemo therapy agents, Ergotamine, and Bromocriptine, and the illicit drugs including any mind altering substances including marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Where the milk is further exposed to an Ultraviolet (UV) radiation of 260 nm to 270 nm wavelength, disinfecting any undesirable bacteria that was not present in the milk at the time it was expressed. The UV radiation exposure includes placing the milk in a vessel with a mixing mechanism gently agitating the milk, enhancing exposure of a substantial volume of the milk to the UV radiation.

The disclosure features a human milk cream composition as well as methods of making a human milk cream composition and using a human milk cream composition. In particular, the disclosure features a method of using a human milk cream composition to raise the caloric content of human milk.
