Objectives: In order to understand the effect of long term consumption of mineral-fortified dephytinized soy milk powder on skeletal health in children, biological effects of mineral-fortified dephytinized soy milk powder, dephytinized mineral-unfortified soy milk powder and fresh mineral-fortified cow milk were compared.
Methods: Totally, 90 boys aged 12 to 14 years were involved in the study and were given daily with mineral-fortified dephytinized soy milk powder, dephytinized soy milk powder and fresh fortified cow milk, respectively, for two months. The blood samples were collected from all the subjects for measuring activity of serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and serum level of oesteocalcin, and the urine samples were collected for determining urine C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen (CTx).
Results: After two-month intervention, serum level of oesteocalcin increased significantly in the all groups, (16.42 +/- 11.25) micro g/L for the group with fortified soy milk powder, (18.86 +/- 11.57) microg/L for the group with unfortified soy milk powder and (13.81 +/- 10.06) microg/L for the group with fortified cow milk, respectively. The activity of bone specific alkaline phosphatase significantly decreased in the all groups, by (0.28 +/- 0.40) micromol x s(-1) x L(-1) for the group with fortified soy milk powder, (0.26 +/- 0.35) micromol x s(-1) x L(-1) for the group with unfortified soy milk powder, and (0.17 +/- 0.28) micromol x s(-1) x L(-1) for the group with fortified cow milk, respectively. As well as, urine level of CTx decreased significantly, by (349.1 +/- 380.3) mg/L for the group with fortified soy milk powder, (260.4 +/- 412.4) mg/L for the group with unfortified soy milk powder, and (354.4 +/- 404.7) mg/L for the group with fortified cow milk, respectively.
Conclusions: Long term consumption of mineral-fortified and dephytinized soy milk powder could improve bone mass retention and calcium nutrition status efficiently in children.

This study investigated the survival dynamics of BG24, a probiotic strain, within reconstituted skim milk (RSM) and yeast extract (YE) matrices during the spray-drying (SD) process, encompassing of inlet/outlet air temperatures. Notably, optimum SD parameters were found to be an inlet air temperature of 150°C and outlet air temperature of 83°C, that achieving high viability (92.23%), and reducing both moisture content (MC) (3.

Background: Bacillus subtilis AU-2, isolated from the gut of Tribolium castaneum, was used for protease production. The purified protease was evaluated for its potential in food-related applications including meat tenderization, milk coagulation, and the preparation of enzymatic soybean hydrolysates. Enzymatic hydrolysis of soy protein is an effective method for producing protein hydrolysates with optimal techno-functional properties.

Zinc (Zn) is a trace element involved in numerous physiological processes, including enzyme function, gene transcription, and cell signaling. Its importance is especially pronounced in preterm infants, who are at high risk of Zn deficiency due to disrupted transplacental transfer, high nutrient demands, and medical complications. The inherent risk of Zn deficiency in this population is further increased by poor Zn dietary intake.

The increasing popularity of plant-based milk products as an alternative to traditional bovine milk has sparked concerns about their safety and nutritional impact. This study focuses on the growth, survival, and cryotolerance behavior of (strains: ATCC 19115 and RS1) in various plant-based milk substitutes. Samples of almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, and bovine milk, all subjected to ultra-high temperature treatment, were evaluated for their influence on growth at 4°C and survival through repeated freezing and thawing cycles.

Maternal dietary fat intake during pregnancy and lactation may influence the bioavailability of essential lipophilic nutrients, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), that are important for both the mother and her child's development. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different maternal fat diets on fat absorption and pup brain development by analyzing gene expression. Rats were fed diets with different lipid matrices during pregnancy and lactation: diet A, mono and diglycerides (MDG) + soy lecithin phospholipids (PL); diet B, MDG + soy lecithin PL + milk-derived PL; and a control diet.
