Analysis of chemical parameters for three types of reconstituted milk powder

Abstract

The infant formula means a breast milk substitute specifically made to meet the nutritional requirements of infants during the first few months of life until appropriate complementary feed is introduced. Milk intake in the baby's diet is recommended for at least the first two years of life, maternal -at least six months, the animal or the formula of reconstituted milk powder -further, due to the essential nutritional principles in growth and physical and cognitive development.The chemical parameters analyzed in the present paper follow the quality of three milkpowders (infant formula, next step formulaand lactose-free formula) and three types of water (marketed, tapped and filtered) used for reconstitution with regard to acidity and content in nitrite, chloride, sulphite and phosphateions.
