Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dairy technology, specifically to a formula milk powder that can be used to improve an individual's quality of life and its application. Background Technology

[0002] During the critical period of infant and toddler development (especially 0-1 years), the core of quality of life is reflected in three dimensions: "less discomfort, better absorption, and stable condition." At this stage, infants' digestive systems are immature, and their immune systems are not yet fully developed, making them prone to digestive problems (such as constipation and bloating), low nutrient absorption efficiency, and sensitivity to external stimuli (such as frequent crying and restless sleep). These issues not only directly affect the infant's physical comfort but may also indirectly affect their growth and development rhythm and emotional state, thereby reducing their overall quality of life. Breast milk, as the ideal food for infants, contains not only basic nutrients but also a variety of active ingredients that can precisely address these developmental challenges. Therefore, when exclusive breastfeeding is not possible or breast milk is insufficient, adding key active ingredients from breast milk to formula becomes an important way to help infants obtain nutritional support close to that of breast milk and improve their quality of life.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), α-lactalbumin, β-casein, lactoferrin, and OPO structured lipids have been proven to be key components in breast milk that play a crucial role in infants' digestive comfort, immune protection, and nutrient utilization. They do not act alone, but rather work synergistically to create a comfortable growth environment for infants from multiple dimensions, ultimately improving their quality of life.

[0021] Figure 1 This is for IQI total score statistics.

[0022] Figures 2-4 This represents the percentage of infants with normal IQI scores. Detailed Implementation

[0023] In order to provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives and beneficial effects of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail below, but it should not be construed as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention.

[0024] Example: This study investigated the effects of infant formula containing human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), OPO, lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, and β-casein on the quality of life of infants. The study included an experimental group, a control group, and a breast milk group. A total of 300 infants aged 14 days or younger were recruited, of whom 255 completed the intervention. Infants were divided into three groups based on the formula they were fed: the experimental group (NTotal=84) containing HMOs, OPO, lactoferrin, α-lactalbumin, and β-casein; the control group (NTotal=90) not containing HMOs, α-lactalbumin, β-casein, lactoferrin, and OPO; and the breast milk group (NTotal=81). Quality of life questionnaires were collected from parents at baseline, 6 weeks of age, 3 months of age, 4 months of age, and 6 months of age. The specific ingredients of the formulas for the experimental and control groups are shown in Tables 1-2 (Table 2 is a continuation of Table 1). Table 1

[0025] Table 2

[0026] Data Results: The quality of life of infants in each group was assessed using the Infant Quality of Life Questionnaire (IQI) reported by parents.

[0027] The Infant Quality of Life Questionnaire (IQI) is a universal tool for assessing the overall health and quality of life of infants under one year old. It includes seven aspects: sleep, feeding, breathing, bowel movements / defecation, mood, skin, and interaction, and is completed by the infant's parents. Each question has four options, numbered 0, 1, 2, and 3 from top to bottom. The lower the total score, the higher the quality of life. The total IQI score is shown in Table 3. The IQI total score is calculated as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0028] Table 3 This indicates a significant difference compared to the experimental group (p < 0.05).

[0029] At baseline, the total IQI scores reported by parents were 1.86±1.43 in the experimental group, 1.70±1.30 in the control group, and 2.11±1.54 in the breastfed group, showing comparability among the three groups. Significant differences in total IQI scores were observed between the experimental and control groups at 6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, and 6 months of age, with the control group showing significantly higher scores. There were no significant differences in total IQI scores between the experimental and breastfed groups at these ages. The IQI scores indicate that infants in the experimental group had a better quality of life compared to the control group, suggesting that feeding infants with added human milk oligosaccharides, α-lactalbumin, β-casein, lactoferrin, and OPO can significantly improve their quality of life.

[0030] The specific circumstances of the infants were analyzed based on the details of each score in the IQI questionnaire, categorized into normal and affected groups. The results of the Infant Quality of Life Questionnaire (IQI questionnaire) are summarized in Tables 4-7 (Tables 5-7 are continuations of Table 4). The proportion of normal infants in each IQI score is as follows: Figures 2-4 As shown.

[0031] Table 4

[0032] Table 5

[0033] Table 6

[0034] Table 7 This indicates a significant difference compared to the experimental group (p < 0.05).

[0035] The IQI scores for each item showed no significant differences at baseline among the three groups of infants, indicating they were comparable. The number of normal-behaved infants in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group during visits, but there was no significant difference compared to the breastfed group. The experimental group showed particularly better performance in areas such as sleep, bowel movements, and feeding, with significantly higher numbers of normal-behaved babies at 6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, and 6 months of age compared to the control group.

[0036] Clinical trials have shown that infant formula milk powder with added human milk oligosaccharides, α-lactalbumin, β-casein, lactoferrin, and OPO can improve the quality of life of infants.
