Abstract
Human milk is considered the most valuable form of nutrition for infants for their growth, development and function. So far, there are still some cases where feeding human milk is not feasible. As a result, the market for infant formula is widely increasing, and formula feeding become an alternative or substitute for breastfeeding. The nutritional value of the formula can be improved by adding functional bioactive compounds like probiotics, prebiotics, human milk oligosaccharides, vitamins, minerals, taurine, inositol, osteopontin, lactoferrin, gangliosides, carnitine etc. For processing of infant formula, diverse thermal and non-thermal technologies have been employed. Infant formula can be either in powdered form, which requires reconstitution with water or in ready-to-feed liquid form, among which powder form is readily available, shelf-stable and vastly marketed. Infants' gut microbiota is a complex ecosystem and the nutrient composition of infant formula is recognized to have a lasting effect on it. Likewise, the gut microbiota establishment closely parallels with host immune development and growth. Therefore, it must be contemplated as an important factor for consideration while developing formulas. In this review, we have focused on the formulation and manufacturing of safe and nutritious infant formula equivalent to human milk or aligning with the infant's needs and its ultimate impact on infants' gut microbiota.

Abstract
This study investigated the characteristics of cow milk-based, goat milk-based, and mixed-based (using goat milk and cow whey powder)infant formulas (IF) with different sources of casein and whey protein, aiming to construct the properties of powders prepared using goat milk. Goat milk-based IF have different water activity, color, and glass transition temperature than other IF, whereas the crystallinity and solubility were similar. SDS-PAGE pattern showed that goat milk-based and mixed-based IF contained higher β-casein, while cow milk-based IF contained higher αs1-casein. The differentials of casein affected the powder surface composition and free fat levels. Goat milk-based IF reduces the surface fat content and free fat levels of the particles. Further analysis showed that the surface of the particles was predominantly filled with saturated fatty acids. Our findings revealed that due to the different casein, goat milk-based IF have favorable characteristics and surface composition, thus promoting its particle stability.

Abstract
Infant formula (IF) is submitted to several heat treatments during production, which can lead to denaturation or aggregation of proteins and promote Maillard reaction. The objective of this study was to investigate innovative minimal processing routes for the production of first-age IF powder, thus ensuring microbial safety with minimal level of protein denaturation. Three nutritionally complete IF powders were produced at a semi-industrial scale based on ingredients obtained by fresh bovine milk microfiltration (0.8 and 0.1-µm pore size membranes). Low-temperature vacuum evaporation (50°C) and spray-drying (inlet and outlet temperatures of 160 and 70°C, respectively) were conducted to produce the T- formula with no additional heat treatment. The T+ formula was produced with a moderate heat treatment (75°C for 2 min) applied before spray-drying, whereas the T+++ formula received successive heat treatments (72°C for 30 s on the milk; 90°C for 2-3 s before evaporation; 85°C for 2 min before spray-drying), thus mimicking commercial powdered IF. Protein denaturation and Maillard reaction products were followed throughout the production steps and the physicochemical properties of the powders were characterized. The 3 IF powders presented satisfactory physical properties in terms of aw, free fat content, glass transition temperature, and solubility index, as well as satisfactory bacteriological quality with a total flora <103 cfu/g and an absence of pathogens when a high level of bacteriological quality of the ingredients was ensured. Protein denaturation occurred mostly during the heat treatments of T+ and T+++ and was limited during the spray-drying process. The IF powder produced without heat treatment (T-) presented a protein denaturation extent (6 ± 4%) significantly lower than that in T+++ (58 ± 0%), but not significantly different from that in T+ (10 ± 4%). Although T- tended to contain less Maillard reaction products than T+ and T+++, the Maillard reaction products did not significantly discriminate the infant formulas in the frame of this work. The present study demonstrated the feasibility of producing at a semi-industrial scale an infant formula being bacteriologically safe and containing a high content of native proteins. Application of a moderate heat treatment before spray-drying could further guarantee the microbiological quality of the IF powders while maintaining a low protein denaturation extent. This study opens up new avenues for the production of minimally processed IF powders.

Abstract
We report on the physicochemical changes of infant formula (IF) powder and its macronutrients (lactose, fat, and proteins) under given storage conditions. Colloidal (particle size distribution, emulsion stability and sedimentation), morphological (scanning electron microscopy), thermal (differential scanning calorimetry), structural (synchrotron X-ray diffraction) as well as surface and chemical (X-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies) data were used to elucidate the main cause-effect relationships for microstructural, functional, and other properties of the IF powder. The wetting behavior of the powder was found to be significantly affected by water activity (aw) during storage (aw in the range between 0.24 and 0.42). At the highest aw (aw = 0.42), lactose crystallization and fat migration took place, leading to changes on the surface of the particles that reduced powder wettability. We propose possible mechanisms to explain the observations, associated with changes in protein conformation. Interestingly, no major changes in the pH and colloidal characteristics, including particle size and distribution, stability, and sedimentation were observed in the reconstituted IF powder upon storage for 6 weeks. The results indicated a negligible contribution from possible Maillard reactions. We propose leading microstructural and wetting characterization to troubleshoot changes in the quality of IF powder, most relevant from the perspective of reconstitution after storage.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of drying temperature on the stability and quality of spray-dried coconut milk. A low concentration (1-2% w/w) of sodium caseinate (SC) was used as emulsifying agent with 8-9% of maltodextrin. The spray drying temperature was varied from 140 to 180 °C. Emulsions prepared at different SC concentration remained stable without phase separation for 24 h. Higher the SC concentration produced smaller-sized of droplet and powder particles. The spray dried coconut milk has a skin-forming structure. Emulsion with low concentration of SC (1% w/w) is unstable during atomisation process due to re-coalescence of fat. Adding SC to the emulsion reduce the moisture content to less than 5%. However, drying the emulsions at 180 °C gave negative impact to the powder properties. Some particles rupture and lead to high free fat content, high insolubility and larger fat droplet size. Presence of fleck is also noticed in the powder.

Abstract
This study was carried out for extraction of soy isoflavones and entrapment of the isoflavones so obtained into whole milk via encapsulation techniques. Three different solvent (ethanol, methanol and acetonitrile) were used for the extraction of isoflavone using three stage of extraction. The extracted isoflavone was encapsulated into 200 ml of whole milk by spray drying using different concentrations of gum acacia (4, 6 and 8% w/v) and 10% w/v maltodextrin DE 18. The ratio between cores to coating materials was 1:10. Though acetonitrile extracted higher amount of isoflavone, ethanol was selected for subsequent studies of extraction of isoflavone, as per the legislations regarding use of Food-grade solvents. There was no significant difference (p > 0.5) among all three samples 4% gum acacia+10% maltodextrin (A), 6% gum acacia+10% maltodextrin (B) and 8% gum acacia+10% maltodextrin (C) in terms of moisture content and hygroscopicity. However, insolubility index showed that sample A possessed a higher solubility index. Encapsulation techniques suggested that sample A showed higher encapsulation efficiency than others. Statistical analysis suggested that there was no significant difference among samples A, B and C during storage at 4°C for the time period (30 days) studied, in terms of isoflavone retention rate. However, samples stored at 25 and 37°C showed significant difference in the retention rate. Among all the three samples, sample B showed significantly lower isoflavone degradation rate of 3.80, 4.07 and 4.70 × 10-3/day at 4, 25 and 37°C, respectively. The highest amount of isoflavone degradation was observed at 37°C. Results indicate that isoflavone can be encapsulated using a combination of gum acacia either 4 or 6% w/v and 10% maltodextrin along with milk proteins at 4°C for longer shelf life.

Abstract
The physical properties of 15 commercially available infant formulas (IF) and follow-on (FO) formulas were analysed. Powders made with intact milk proteins were classified into two groups; Type I—homogenous mixtures of milk powder particles (n = 6); and Type II—heterogeneous mixtures of milk powder particles and tomahawk-shaped α-lactose monohydrate crystals (n = 6). Powders made using hydrolysed proteins were classified as Type III powders (n = 3). Type II powders exhibited similar flow characteristics to Type I powders despite having significantly (p < 0.05) smaller particle size, lower circularity, and greater elongation. Type III powders exhibited lowest particles size, highest surface free fat, and poorest flow properties (p < 0.05 for all). Upon reconstitution of powders (12.5% w/w), no significant difference (p < 0.05) in apparent viscosity was observed between Type I and II powders. Reconstituted Type III powders had relatively poor stability to separation compared to Type I and II powders, caused by large starch granules and/or poor emulsification by hydrolysed proteins. Overall, this study illustrated the range of physical behaviour and structures present in commercial IF powders. In particular, the effect of dry addition of lactose and the hydrolysis of protein were found to have major effects on physical properties.
