Grant Activity:
Next-generation feeding for premature babies: ‘Bioactive’ breastmilk pasteurised by nanosecond pulsed electric field
Purpose:
We have shown that breastmilk is superior to formula for infant early health, because saliva-breastmilk interactions regulate the microbiota in the infant's mouth and gut. The growing number of preterm/low-birth-weight infants receiving intragastric feeding of heat-pasteurised donor breastmilk do not receive this benefit. We will test a unique non-thermal technology, Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field, to create microbiologically-safe, bioactive donor breastmilk to improve infant nutrition.
