Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are crucial for promoting neonatal health, with sialylated oligosaccharides, a significant subclass, offering a variety of health benefits such as prebiotic effects, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, antiviral defense, and cognitive development support. Among these, 3'-sialyllactose (3'-SL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) have received "GRAS" status from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and approval from the European Food Safety Authority for use as novel food additives in infant formula and supplements. This review focuses on the synthesis methods of sialylated human milk oligosaccharides (SHMOs), their functional properties, downstreaming developments and application technologies. Given the challenges associated with achieving sufficient availability for food and medical applications, the review emphasizes the viability and efficiency of various production strategies. The review also highlights recent research advancements and offers insights for optimizing large-scale production to support future applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The prevalence of hypertension in Japan remains high, owing to the high salt content of the typical Japanese diet. Dairy-based foods may reduce blood pressure and hypertension risk. However, dairy consumption is low in Japan, and the relationships between dairy intake and blood pressure or the mechanisms by which dairy products affect blood pressure are not fully understood.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are now the principal component of the latest infant formula generation. However, it is challenging to separate and quantify highly heterogeneous isomers when analyzing HMOs. Here, we developed a high-throughput isomer-resolved quantification method for 21 native HMOs based on ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-multiple reaction monitoring (UPLC-MS-MRM) technology.

The intricate interplay between human breast milk, nanoparticles, and macromolecules holds promise for innovative nutritional delivery strategies. Compared to bovine milk and infant formula, this study explores human breast milk's role in modulating intestinal permeability and its impact on nanoparticle and macromolecule transport. Comparative analysis with bovine milk and infant formula reveals significant elevations in permeability with human breast milk, accompanied by a decrease in transepithelial electrical resistance, suggesting enhanced paracellular transport.

Dimeric IgA (dIgA) is the dominant antibody in many mucosal tissues. It is actively transported onto mucosal surfaces as secretory IgA (sIgA) which plays an integral role in protection against enteric pathogens, particularly in young children. Therapeutic strategies that deliver engineered, potently neutralizing antibodies directly into the infant intestine through breast milk could provide enhanced antimicrobial protection for neonates.
