Abstract
The disclosure provides a simple and effective methods for sterilization of milk without degradation or loss of biologically active agents in the milk and the products produced by such methods.
Claims31
A method for obtaining a human milk composition comprising:
- filtering whole milk through at filter of about 100-400 microns;
- heat treating the whole milk at about 58-65° C. for about 20-40 minutes;
- separating the whole milk into a skim portion and a fat portion;
- filtering the skim portion through one or more skim filters to obtain a permeate portion and a protein rich skim portion;
- heating the fat portion to a temperature of about 90-120° C. for about one hour sufficient to reduce the bioburden of the fat portion;
- and
- mixing a fraction of the processed fat portion with the protein rich skim portion to obtain a human milk composition.
4 more elements

- a protein constituent of about 20-70 mg/ml;
- a fat constituent of about 35-85 mg/ml,
- a carbohydrate constituent of about 70-115 mg/ml;
- and wherein the composition comprises human IgA.
1 more element
