A pectin-based formulation protects milk fat globule membranes in stored human milk

2026-07-14

Abstract excerpt

During household storage, expressed human milk can develop odor and flavor changes that trigger infant refusal and lead caregivers to discard their saved milk supply. We show that typical refrigeration and freezing conditions disrupt the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM), exposing milk lipids to lipases that catalyze hydrolysis and oxidation. A pectin-based formulation (PBF) maintains MFGM integrity during storage...
