T/TDSTIA 027-2022 Infant formula milk powder freshness
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: The infancy and early childhood stage is an important period for human growth and development. Scientific feeding and a balanced diet are crucial for the healthy growth of infants and young children. Globally, only about 40% of infants aged 0-6 months are exclusively breastfed, and in China, only one-third of children receive sufficient breastfeeding. Infant and toddler formula milk powder, as a substitute for breast milk, is also the first food for infants and young children. Currently, both domestic and international quality indicators and evaluation standards for infant and toddler formula milk powder are based on total protein content, the ratio of whey protein to casein, etc., which are similar to breast milk, but there is still no evaluation method that reflects the freshness of breast milk directly from the mother's breast to the baby's mouth. Therefore, the National Dairy Industry Science and Technology Innovation Alliance constructed a multi-dimensional model based on heat-processed by-products such as furfural and active proteins α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin, and calculated the freshness (Fresh Degree, FD) to form a freshness measurement standard as a method for evaluating the freshness and quality of infant and toddler formula milk powder.
