An infant formula having a breast milk-like flavor and a method of making the same
By combining raw milk from high-altitude, cold-climate environments with a specific blend of oils and a low-temperature processing technique, the problem of preserving characteristic flavor substances of breast milk in infant formula has been solved, achieving a significant match between the flavor of infant formula and breast milk and an improvement in its nutritional properties.

AI Technical Summary
Existing infant formula production methods struggle to retain characteristic flavor compounds derived from cow's milk grown in cold, high-altitude environments, especially breast milk-specific flavor compounds such as 1-octen-3-one and (E)-2-decenal. Furthermore, high-temperature sterilization results in the presence of large amounts of undesirable aldehydes, which negatively impacts infants' acceptance of the formula.
Using raw milk from high-altitude, cold-climate environments and a specific blend of oils, combined with low-temperature pasteurization, low-temperature concentration, and spray drying processes, and through partial homogenization and low-temperature DSI sterilization, a complete low-temperature processing protection mechanism is formed to preserve the characteristic flavor substances of breast milk.
The successful detection of breast milk characteristic flavor compounds 1-octen-3-one and (E)-2-decenal improved the product's compatibility with breast milk flavor, inhibited the formation of undesirable flavors, reduced the risk of oxidative deterioration, and achieved simultaneous optimization of flavor quality and nutritional characteristics.
