ABSTRACT

Introduction

There is growing interest in the possibility of measuring the macronutrient content of human milk. Several studies that intend to validate commercially available human milk analyzers have been published with inconsistent results. This review will focus on currently available, verified methodologies for analyzing macronutrients in human milk.

Areas covered

A literature search was conducted in the PubMed database. Five milk analyzers were chosen to be included in this review: MIRIS (Uppsala, Sweden) (seven articles found), Calais (Cleveland, United States) (four articles), SpectraStar (Brookfield, United States) (four articles), MilkoScan (Hillerdo, Denmark) (two articles), and Delta LactoScope (Stockholm, Sweden) (one article). The following information was extracted from published manuscripts: measuring device, sample preparation, purpose of the study, type of macronutrients studied, results, and conclusions.

Expert opinion

Infrared spectroscopy can be an accurate and reliable technology for assessing the macronutrient content of human milk, specifically crude protein, and total fat. However, an optimal handling of samples, the development of standardized quality-control protocols, and an improvement in calibration procedures are required before the full implementation of infrared technology in neonatal units.

用于在临床环境中测量母乳常量营养素含量的红外分析仪。

摘要

介绍

人们对测量母乳中常量营养素含量的可能性越来越感兴趣。几项旨在验证市售母乳分析仪的研究已发表，但结果不一致。本综述将重点关注目前可用的、经过验证的用于分析母乳中大量营养素的方法。

覆盖区域

在 PubMed 数据库中进行了文献检索。本综述选择了五台牛奶分析仪：MIRIS（瑞典乌普萨拉）（找到了七篇文章）、Calais（美国克利夫兰）（四篇文章）、SpectraStar（美国布鲁克菲尔德）（四篇文章）、MilkoScan（ Hillerdo，丹麦）（两篇文章）和 Delta LactoScope（瑞典斯德哥尔摩）（一篇文章）。以下信息摘自已发表的手稿：测量装置、样品制备、研究目的、研究的常量营养素类型、结果和结论。

专家意见

红外光谱是一种准确可靠的技术，可用于评估母乳中的常量营养素含量，特别是粗蛋白和总脂肪。然而，在新生儿单元中全面实施红外技术之前，需要对样本进行最佳处理、制定标准化质量控制协议并改进校准程序。
