Infant nutrition and development

Patients should always start with the lowest recommended dose and increase slowly to avoid overdosing. Follow-up with the patient is necessary to evaluate whether the dietary supplement is safe and effective. Report any suspected adverse event to FDA s Medwatch, 1-800-FDA-1088. FDA has developed the Special Nutritionals Adverse Event Monitoring System (SN/AEMS), a database of adverse events associated with the use of special nutritional products dietary supplements, infant formulas, and medical foods. ...

Unstabilized bran and polish have been used almost exclusively for animal feed, due to the bitter flavor that develops from the lipolytic action of enzymes on the oil found in them. However, development of a thermal process that inactivates the lipases has resulted in a stabilized rice bran product that is suitable for the food industry. The impressive nutritional qualities of the oil, fiber, carbohydrate and proteins of rice bran have made it a valuable food material. Removal of fiber from the bran by physical K,J7or enzymic1819 processes produces a milk-like product having desirable nutritional and functional properties. The nutritional composition of the rice bran milk product described by California Natural Products has been shown to match the nutritional requirements of an infant formula. Originally, the anti-nutritional factor of the residual phytates was of concern. However, as of 2005, phytase enzymes are suitable for use to break down these phytates.

There were several new developments during the 1970s. Of particular importance was the purification and characterization of a lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and the acceptance of the postulate that this was the major, if not the only, lipase in cows milk (Olivecrona, 1980). Similarly, the elucidation of the lipase system in human milk as consisting of an LPL and a bile salt-stimulated lipase, and the possible role of the latter in infant nutrition, were noteworthy (Fredrikzon et al, 1978). Also, microbial lipolysis assumed substantial significance with the widespread use of low-temperature storage of raw milk and the recognition that heat-stable lipases produced by psychrotrophic bacteria were a major cause of flavor problems in stored dairy products (Law, 1979).

By the late 1960s, Rhoads and Dudrick had documented continued growth and improvement in nutritional markers in humans with the use of central intravenous nutrition. By the early 1970s, intravenous nutrition was used to sustain growth and development in premature infants. ...
