Infant formula is a substitute for breast milk, designed to closely mimic its composition and function for breast milk. Most of the previous studies used tumor colorectal cancer cell lines to study the nutritional potency of formula and its components, so realistic data closer to the baby could not be obtained.

Many infants aged 0-6 months are fed with infant formula rather than breast milk. Research on cancer cell lines and animal models is limited to examining the nutrition effects of formula and breast milk, as it does not comprehensively consider absorption, metabolism, and the health and social determinants of the infant and its physiology.

Currently, research on the functions of formula milk powder focuses on clinical research and cell experiments, and there were many cell experiments that investigated the effect of infant formulas on cellular growth. However, most of the cells used are tumor cell lines, which are unable to simulate the real digestion process of an infant.

In this study, the properties of WPI and CS composites were investigated by complexing CS with either unmodified WPI or thermally denatured WPI (DWPI). Three types of composite particles were prepared, WPI-CS, DWPI-CS, and D(WPI-CS).

In this work, Pickering emulsions containing apigenin and stabilized by whey protein isolate-chitosan (WPI-CS) complexes were created to enhance the bioavailability of apigenin. Different lipids including medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), ethyl oleate (EO), and corn oil (CO) were selected to fabricate lipid-based delivery systems.
