Milk fatty acids, including the polyunsaturated long chain fatty acids essential for retinal function and brain development, are not affected by pasteurization (62.5 degrees C for 30 min). Milk lipases are completely destroyed by pasteurization, whereas amylase lost only 15% of initial activity. Thus, certain bioactive components are stable to pasteurization of donor milk and can benefit the recipient infants.
