Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food technology, and in particular relates to an infant formula milk powder. Background Technology

[0002] During an infant's growth and development, the trends in height and weight gain are important indicators of health and nutritional status. When a baby's height increases significantly over a period of time while their weight maintains a steady increase (rather than excessively rapid growth), this is actually a very healthy and ideal growth pattern with unique advantages. This is because it means the baby is prioritizing the building of lean body mass (such as muscle, bones, and organs) rather than excessively accumulating fat. This lays a healthier metabolic foundation for the child, helping to reduce the risk of future obesity and related metabolic diseases (such as childhood diabetes). Summary of the Invention

[0116] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0117] Height growth primarily depends on the effective absorption of sufficient nutrients for bone building, such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Stable weight indicates that total energy intake is adequate and appropriate, without excess. This suggests that the baby's diet is of high quality, with balanced nutrient distribution, and that energy is efficiently used for body structure building, rather than simply being converted into fat for storage.

[0118] Furthermore, an infant's growth is not a uniform, linear process, but rather occurs in a step-like or leaping manner. Sometimes, the body will "grow taller" first, followed by weight gain. This pattern of height growth preceding weight gain precisely matches the natural and healthy growth rhythm of many infants.

[0119] Based on this, the present invention provides an infant formula milk powder, which, per 100 g of infant formula milk powder, comprises: 500-2000 mg of minerals, 20-500 mg of polyunsaturated fatty acids, 1-24 g of 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol triglyceride, 1-100 mg of nucleotides and 200-600 mg of lactoferrin; wherein the minerals include 2-6 mg of iron, 1-5 mg of zinc and 300-500 mg of calcium.

[0120] The infant formula provided by this invention contains lactoferrin, an important immunologically active protein in breast milk. It can directly deprive bacteria of iron ions required for growth, thereby effectively inhibiting the proliferation of harmful pathogens (such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). Simultaneously, it promotes the development of the infant's own immune system, establishing a strong intestinal and systemic immune barrier, creating a safe and stable internal environment for the baby's growth and development, and reducing the interference of diseases on the growth process. Furthermore, lactoferrin can highly bind to iron, forming an easily absorbed complex, significantly improving iron bioavailability and effectively preventing iron-deficiency anemia. Sufficient iron is crucial for the development of the infant's nervous system and systemic oxygen supply. In addition, it can also promote the absorption of other minerals in the intestines, providing a solid material basis for bone growth (increased height); furthermore, lactoferrin can bind to cell receptors, positively affecting cell growth and differentiation, and may directly participate in and promote intestinal development, bone growth, and brain development.

[0121] This invention provides a method for compounding lactoferrin with other components in formula milk powder in a specific ratio, so that the formula milk powder can promote the growth and development of infants and stabilize their weight gain.

[0186] The increased richness and number of species in an infant's gut microbiota constitute a diverse and stable "microbial ecosystem," enhancing the intestinal barrier, promoting healthy development and balance of the immune system (reducing the risk of allergies and autoimmune diseases), and more efficiently digesting nutrients and synthesizing vitamins. Bifidobacterium breve, as a dominant core species in infancy, exhibits particularly prominent advantages in its high abundance. It excels at breaking down human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), effectively inhibiting pathogens, preventing diarrhea and constipation, and significantly reducing the risk of allergies such as atopic dermatitis by regulating immune responses. It serves as the "cornerstone" for laying a healthy foundation for the entire beneficial microbiota. In a specific embodiment of this invention, the infant formula milk powder enhances intestinal comfort by promoting the growth of healthy gut microbiota; specifically, the healthy gut microbiota includes one or more of the following phyla: Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Ruminococcus, Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, and Lactobacillus; the Bifidobacterium genus includes Bifidobacterium breve.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a distribution chart of infant growth and development indicators before propensity score matching. Figure 1 *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001; NS: no significant difference; Figure 2 This is a distribution chart of infant growth and development indicators after propensity score matching. Figure 2 *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001; NS: no significant difference).

[0213] Weight-for-Age Z-score (WAZ): By comparing an individual child's weight with the standard weight distribution of children of the same age and sex globally or regionally, the standard deviation (Z-score) from the mean is calculated, thereby quickly determining whether a child is underweight, normal, or overweight / obese.

[0214] Height-for-Age Z-score (HAZ): By comparing an individual child's height (or length) with the standard growth data of children of the same age and sex, the standard deviation (Z-score) of the deviation from the mean is calculated, thereby quickly identifying conditions such as growth retardation, normal growth, or excessive growth.

[0215] Weight-for-Height Z-score (WHZ): By comparing an individual child's weight with the standard weight distribution of children of the same height and sex, the standard deviation (Z-score) of the deviation from the mean is calculated. It can intuitively reflect whether the child's current nutritional status is balanced, and is especially suitable for quickly detecting short-term nutritional intake abnormalities.

[0216] Age-for-Age Z-score: This score determines whether a child's BMI is within the normal range by comparing the child's BMI to the standard BMI of children of the same age and sex, and calculating the standard deviation (Z-score) from the mean.

[0217] From Table 1 and Figure 1 Before matching, the analysis of differences in infant growth indicators between groups showed that the birth weight of infants in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the breastfed group, while there was no significant difference in birth length between the two groups; there were no significant differences in age-specific weight Z-score (WAZ) and postnatal weight gain between the two groups; the age-specific length Z-score (HAZ) and postnatal length gain of infants in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the breastfed group; the length-specific weight Z-score (WHZ) and age-specific BMI Z-score (zBMI) of the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the breastfed group; the analysis of the absolute values ​​of each Z-score after matching showed (Table 1, Figure 1 There was no significant difference in the absolute value of WAZ between the two groups; however, the absolute value of HAZ in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the breast milk group. In Table 1, M represents the mean and S represents the standard deviation.

[0218] Table 1. Comparison of growth and development indicators of infants with different feeding methods before and after propensity score matching (PSM).

[0219]

[0220] A. Pairwise comparisons of data before matching showed statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the breast milk group (p<0.05).

[0221] a. After matching, pairwise comparisons of the data showed statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the breast milk group (p<0.05).

[0222] From Table 1, Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the experimental group and the breastfed group had similar growth processes, and the weight Z-score and growth curve were more consistent with those of breastfed babies, which were lower than those of the control group, significantly reducing the risk of excessive weight gain in early life. The experimental group had an average increase of 1.49 Z-scores in height, which significantly promoted infant growth and was much higher than that of the control group.

[0223] Comparison of gut microbiota indicators among different groups of infants

[0224] Stool samples were collected from 30 infants in each group, ranging in age from 6 to 12 months, for intestinal flora analysis (using 16S rRNA). Results were obtained. Figures 3-8 As shown. Among them. Figure 3 A graph showing the results of phylum-level microbial community testing in infant fecal samples; Figure 4 Heatmap of species abundance at the phylum level in infant fecal samples. Figure 5 This is a graph showing the results of the detection of horizontal microbiota in an infant's stool sample. Figure 6 Heatmap of species abundance of genus-level microbial communities in infant fecal samples. Figure 7 A graph showing the results of the detection of microbial community at different levels in infant fecal samples; Figure 8 A heatmap showing the species abundance of horizontal microbial communities in infant fecal samples.

[0225] Depend on Figures 3-8The fecal samples from the experimental group showed higher abundances of Firmicutes (28.68%), Bifidobacterium (61.97%), and Bifidobacterium breve (22.28%). The species abundance heatmap revealed that the gut microbiota of the experimental group infants was mainly enriched in: Bacteroides, Actinobacteria, Ruminococcus, Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, Bifidobacterium breve, and Lactobacillus mucosae.

[0226] Infant feeding difficulties

[0227] The infants' feeding status was assessed using a feeding difficulty scale, and propensity score matching was performed to obtain box plots of feeding difficulty scores for infants in different feeding method groups before and after matching, as shown in the figure. Figure 9 As shown, (a) is before matching, and (b) is after matching. Figure 9 *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001; NS: no significant difference. Figure 9 It can be seen that the scores of infants in the experimental group were lower than those in the breastfed group before and after matching, indicating that the infants in the experimental group had less feeding difficulties and were easier to feed.

[0228] Infant bowel movements and gas

[0229] Analysis of differences in bowel movements among infants aged 6–12 months between groups showed (Table 2, ...). Figure 10 To match the previous infant bowel movement distribution bar chart. Figure 11 To create a bar chart showing the distribution of infant bowel movements after matching, Figure 10 and Figure 11 *: p<0.05; **: p<0.01; ***: p<0.001; NS.: no significant difference). Before and after matching, there was a significant difference in the frequency of bowel movements between the two groups, with the proportion of infants having one bowel movement per day in the experimental group (89%) being higher than that in the breastfed group (65%). Before and after matching, there was no significant difference in the proportion of infants experiencing gas in the past week between the experimental and breastfed groups. Regarding the incidence of green stools in the past week, there was no significant difference between the experimental and breastfed groups after matching.

[0230] Table 2 Comparison of bowel movements among infants of different feeding methods before and after propensity score matching (PSM).

[0231]

[0232] A. Pairwise comparisons of pre-matching data showed statistically significant differences between the experimental and breast milk groups (p<0.05).

[0233] a. After matching, pairwise comparisons of the data showed statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the breast milk group (p<0.05).

[0234] In summary, the infant formula provided by this invention can promote infant growth and development, improve intestinal comfort, reduce feeding difficulty index scores, promote the abundance of Bifidobacterium and Bifidobacterium breve in the infant gut, and significantly increase the richness and species number of the infant gut microbiota, creating a microbiota state that is closer to that of breastfed infants.
