HMOs and precision proteins push infant formula closer to breast milk
The nutrition industry is innovating in solutions for one of its most vulnerable consumer groups, infants. Nutrition Insight sits down with experts from Novonesis, Valio, Arla Foods Ingredients, and Lubrizol to discuss how the industry is shifting toward creating products as similar as possible to the “gold standard of infant nutrition” — human breast milk. We also discuss how external factors, such as recent infant formula withdrawals, have shaped the industry. Joey Zhu, global commercial development manager for Early Life and Specialized Nutrition at Novonesis Human Health, spots the main trend in infant nutrition innovation, which is making formula more closely reflect the composition and benefits of breast milk, while being supported by robust scientific evidence.

Ultra-processed foods in a lunchbox
Findings from a study in healthy adults suggest that different food processing methods produce distinct metabolic outcomes, even when lesser and ultra-processed foods are standardized to identical nutrition profiles — in terms of calories, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water, and salt. Blood tests taken from participants before and after a meal with or without ultra-processed foods indicated that participants consuming ultra-processed meals released more insulin and expended more energy while burning less carbohydrate for fuel. The meals also evoked different responses in the part of the brain involved in motivation and reward.

Chinese researchers have developed a new fluorescent sensor that could present a simpler alternative to measuring vitamin B12 in food through laboratory tests. The scientists at Liaocheng University propose that this new method could be adapted to a simple paper strip or cotton swab. The team notes that the most common measuring techniques, including chromatography and electrochemical analysis, often require complex instruments, lengthy sample handling, or precise conditions. Many fluorescence probes also remain tied to laboratory spectrometers.
