Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of carob bean gum and sodium carboxymethylcellulose as thickening agents in infant formula, highlighting significant increases in viscosity with minor dosage changes.
- Findings indicate that achieving the desired thickness requires careful dosing and preparation, including a recommended 30-minute wait time for optimal thickening with carob bean gum.
- The research underlines the necessity for parents to be educated on proper handling to ensure that the thickened formula meets the infant's feeding needs, taking into account the variability in viscosity and appropriate bottle teat sizes.
