ABSTRACT Background When mother's milk is insufficient, pasteurized human donor milk (DM) is the recommended supplement for hospitalized very-low-birth-weight infants. The current method of pasteurization (Holder, 62.5°C, 30 min) negatively affects heat-sensitive nutrients and bioactive proteins. Objectives Objectives of this study were to compare changes in DM composition after thermal pasteurization (Holder and flash-heating) and nonthermal methods [UV-C irradiation and high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)]. We hypothesized that nonthermal techniques would result in fewer changes to composition. Methods Holder, flash-heating (brought to boil), UV-C irradiation (250 nm, 25 min), and HHP (500 MPa, 8 min) were studied. Pools of milk from 17 women known to contain bacteria at >5 × 107 colony forming units (CFU)/L were collected from the Rogers Hixon Ontario Human Milk Bank and underwent each pasteurization technique. Macronutrients, heat-sensitive micronutrients (vitamin C, folate), and bioactive components [bile-salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL), lysozyme, lactoferrin] were measured in raw and pools of pasteurized milk. Milk was cultured to determine how well each technique produced a culture negative result (detection limit <1 × 103 CFU/L). Results Folate was reduced by 24–27% after Holder, flash-heating, and UV-C (P < 0.05); no reduction was observed after HHP. All pasteurization methods reduced vitamin C (60–75%, P < 0.001). BSSL was abolished after Holder and flash-heating (P < 0.001), reduced after UV-C (48%, P < 0.001), but unaffected by HHP. Lysozyme activity was reduced after flash-heating (44%) and UV-C (74%, P < 0.004) but unaffected by Holder or HHP. Lactoferrin was reduced by all methods (P < 0.02) but most severely by flash-heating (74%) and least severely by HHP (25%). Holder and UV-C reduced lactoferrin by ∼48%. All pasteurization methods reduced the number of culture positive DM samples (P < 0.001). Conclusions HHP better preserves human milk composition than Holder pasteurization. Future research on the feasibility of HHP for pasteurizing human milk is warranted because its implementation may improve the nutritional status and health of DM-fed infants.

Physicochemical properties and volatiles of kiwifruit pulp beverage treated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, 400–600 MPa/5–15 min) were investigated during 40-day refrigerated storage. Compared with heat treatment (HT), HHP ranged from 400–500 MPa was superior in retaining vitamin C, fresh-like color and volatiles, while soluble solids content and pH were not affected significantly. Furthermore, HHP improved brightness and inhibited browning of kiwifruit pulp beverage. Samples treated at 400 MPa for 15 min showed significantly higher vitamin C content and lower ∆E values over 40 days than heat-treated kiwifruit pulp beverage. The total content of alcohols, esters, acids, and ketones gradually increased, whereas the total aldehydes content decreased during storage. Interestingly, HHP treatment at 500 MPa for 15 min mostly retained important characteristic volatiles including hexanal and (E)-2-hexenal, indicating this treatment was more conducive to preserve the original fruity, fresh, grassy and green notes of kiwifruit pulp beverage than HT.
