  • Publication number: 20220409645
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising a mix of human milk oligosaccharides consisting of 2?-fucosyllactose and difucosyllactose, for use in the reduction of pain and/or perception of pain in an infant or in a young child. The compositions are particularly effective in the restoration of the sensitivity of the bi-directional pain transmission pathways in the gut-brain axis to normal levels. The compositions are in particular useful in reducing abdominal pain, such as pain associated with gastrointestinal discomfort, functional gastrointestinal disorders, and/or gastrointestinal diseases and consequently also contribute to reducing the crying periods and to improving the quality of sleep, the general quality of life, the mood, the playfulness, the temperament and/or the happiness of the infants and young children.

  • Publication number: 20140154371
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of inactivation of bioactive components in milk during pasteurization for preservation. The invention discloses a method of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment of whole milk, skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk or whey, or other liquid compositions comprising milk components or fractions. The invention is based on the finding that by selecting one or more specific process parameters, such as the PEF treatment chamber design, the specific energy applied, the field strength, pulse type, start temperature, it is possible to effectively eliminate microorganisms from the composition while conserving the activity of bioactive components in the composition.
