What are the hydrolyzed protein milk powders? Because the digestive system of infants and young children is not fully developed, food cannot be completely decomposed and absorbed, and protein intolerance will be regarded as heterogeneous by the immune system that is also incompletely developed. thereby causing allergies.
What are the hydrolyzed protein milk powders?
Partially hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder (also called hypoallergenic milk powder) uses a specialized proteolysis process to turn highly allergenic ordinary milk proteins into Hypoallergenic small molecule protein, allergenicity is reduced by 1000 times, suitable for all newborns, especially babies with a history of allergies. Compared with formula milk powder formulated with ordinary milk, it has the same nutritional content and less allergens.
Deeply hydrolyzed protein formula milk uses a special process to convert the macromolecule milk protein in milk that causes allergies into short peptides and amino acid structures. It is non-allergenic and suitable for the treatment of infant allergies.
Partially hydrolyzed protein formula powder is mainly used for the dietary prevention of milk allergy, while deeply hydrolyzed protein formula powder can be used for the dietary treatment of most mild to moderate milk protein allergies.
Some proteins will produce some bitter substances after hydrolysis, which will affect the natural taste of the formula, especially the deeply hydrolyzed casein formula. Partially hydrolyzed protein formula powder also tastes more delicious than deeply hydrolyzed and amino acid formula milk powder, and is easily accepted by babies, especially babies over 6 months old.
What is hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder?
Hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder is a milk product developed for babies with "cow milk protein allergy".
Hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder is to break down the macromolecule milk protein in milk with long peptide chains and easy to cause allergies into smaller medium and short chains to reduce protein allergenicity. "According to different degrees of hydrolysis, hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder can be divided into three types: partially hydrolyzed, completely hydrolyzed and completely hydrolyzed into amino acid milk, with the degree of hydrolysis ranging from low to high." Experts said.
According to experts, because the protein molecular weight of completely hydrolyzed protein is very small, the immune system will not produce an effective immune response to it; although the molecular weight of partially hydrolyzed protein is much smaller than that of ordinary milk, it still retains some of its properties. Immunoactive peptides, thus gently training the immune system. If the protein is completely decomposed into amino acid molecules, it will become a desensitizing nutritional milk powder based on amino acid molecules. It is mainly used to treat allergies in infants and young children and is not suitable for long-term consumption.
Clinically, infants and young children with severe allergies need to eat completely hydrolyzed protein formula milk powder for a period of time. With the continuous development and improvement of digestion, immunity, and skin protective layers brought about by age, they can gradually Switch to partially hydrolyzed protein formula. Children's immune function, digestive function, and skin's ability to resist external germs are constantly improving as they age. Generally, when infants and young children reach the age of 3, their tolerance to milk protein will be greatly enhanced and they will no longer be allergic to milk protein. Therefore, even children who are accustomed to drinking hydrolyzed formula usually drink regular milk when they grow up.
