Abstract

It is important for the probiotic to maintain its viability during food processing, gastrointestinal conditions, and storage. This study was aimed to apply the freeze-drying process to microencapsulate probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG ATCC 53103. Wall materials consisted of whey protein isolate (WPI), WPI + fructooligosaccharides (WPI + FOS), WPI + galactooligosaccharides (WPI + GOS), and WPI + FOS + GOS. The results showed optimal levels of moisture content (3.85–4.1%) and water activity (0.087–0.115) in the freeze-dried powder (FDP) that contributed to the survival of L. rhamnosus during storage. The morphology of un-encapsulated FDP indicated cell deformation and pile up whereas, for encapsulated samples, they were well entrapped and randomly distributed. Freeze-dried free cells were larger than encapsulated cells, irrespective of the wall material type. The survival rate results were over 96% after freeze-drying, depending on the type of wall materials. However, in the simulated infant gastrointestinal digestion, WPI + FOS + GOS-encapsulated cells showed a minimum decline in cellular survival. The survival of encapsulated probiotics was about 11.2 and 10.22 log cfu/g before storage and at 24 weeks of storage, respectively. This decline in survivability is within an acceptable range since the encapsulated L. rhamnosus GG 53103 are for incorporation into an infant formula powder. Overall, the data demonstrated that using combination of wall materials shows a better protective effect when encapsulated L. rhamnosus GG 53,103 is freeze dried and can be used in infant formula and baby food industries.

Abstract

Background: The exploitative marketing of commercial milk formula (CMF) reduces breastfeeding, and harms child and maternal health globally. Yet forty years after the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes (The Code) was adopted by WHO member states, many countries are still to fully implement its provisions into national law. Furthermore, despite The Code, worldwide CMF markets have markedly expanded. In this paper, we adopt Brazil as a case study to understand the power of the baby food industry's marketing and corporate political activity, and how this influences the country's 'first-food system' in ways that promote and sustain CMF consumption. Methods: We used a case study design, drawing data from from documents and key informant interviews (N = 10). Results: Breastfeeding rates plummeted in Brazil to a historic low in the 1970s. A resurgence in breastfeeding from the mid-1980s onwards reflected strengthening political commitment for a national policy framework and breastfeeding protection law, resulting in-turn, from collective actions by breastfeeding coalitions, advocates, and mothers. Yet more recently, improvements in breastfeeding have plateaued in Brazil, while the industry grew CMF sales in Brazil by 750% between 2006 and 20. As regulations tightened, the industry has more aggressively promoted CMF for older infants and young children, as well as specialised formulas. The baby food industry is empowered through association with powerful industry groups, and employs lobbyists with good access to policymakers. The industry has captured the pediatric profession in Brazil through its long-standing association with the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics. Conclusion: Brazil illustrates how the baby food industry uses marketing and political activity to promote and sustain CMF markets, to the detriment of breastfeeding. Our results demonstrate that this industry requires much greater scrutiny by regulators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The reliance on milk replacers by zoos was vital for the creation of breeding programmes that would fill spaces of captive animal spectacle in the early twentieth century. The creation of the baby food industry and pressures to use these scientifically developed products enabled the rise of captive animal breeding programmes, which routinely removed infants from their mothers and placed them in the hands of humans who immediately put them on a bottle. This article explores the intersecting infant formula foodways of human and nonhuman animals in cages and on stages where baby animals became spectacle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Researchers from Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran, have conducted a study on the effects of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) on crystal sugar contaminated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Aspergillus niger. The study found that when the voltage and power were set at 22 kV and 5 W or higher, the microbial loads of both contaminants were significantly reduced. Increasing the voltage had a greater effect on sterilization than the time and power of DBD. The researchers concluded that DBD could be used as a non-thermal method to fully sterilize crystal sugar for use in the pharmaceutical and baby food industries. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

Background: International food standards set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC), have become more prominent in international trade politics, since being referenced by various World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements. We examine how this impacts implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes. Methods: Using trade in commercial milk formulas (CMFs) as a case study, we collected detailed data on interventions across various WTO bodies between 1995 and 2019. We used language from these interventions to guide data collection on member state and observer positions during the CAC review of the Codex Standard for Follow-up Formula (CSFUF), and during CAC discussions on the relevance of WHO policies and guidelines. Results: Exporting member states made 245 interventions regarding CMFs at the WTO, many citing deviations from standards set by the CAC. These did not occur in formal disputes, but in WTO Committee and Accession processes, toward many countries. In Thailand, complaints are linked to weakened regulation. Exporters also sought to narrow the CSFUF at the CAC in a way that is at odds with recommendations in the International Code. Tensions are growing more broadly within the CAC regarding relevance of WHO recommendations. Countries coordinated during WTO committee processes to advocate for reapportioning core WHO funding to the CAC and in order to further influence standard-setting. Conclusion: The commercial interests of the baby food industry are magnifying inconsistencies between health guidelines set by the WHO, standard-setting at the CAC, and functions of the WTO. This poses serious concerns for countries' abilities to regulate in the interests of public health, in this case to protect breastfeeding and its benefits for the health of infants, children and mothers.
