Summary

EFFECTS OF FOUR HEAT TREATMENTS [335.5 K (62.5 DEG C), 30 MIN ; 345 K (72 DEG C), 15 SEC; 361 K (88 DEG C), 5 SEC; AND 373 K (100 DEG C), 5 MIN] AND FROZEN STORAGE [253 K (-20 DEG C), 4 WK] ON WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMIN CONTENT OF COMPOSITE SAMPLES OF MATURE HUMAN MILK WERE DETERMINED. NO CHANGES IN RIBOFLAVIN, BIOTIN, AND TOTAL PANTOTHENIC ACID CONTENT WERE OBSERVED AFTER ANY OF THE TREATMENTS. DURING FROZEN STORAGE AT 253 K, NIACIN AND FREE PANTOTHENIC ACID CONCENTRATIONS WERE REDUCED; RIBOFLAVIN, VITAMIN B6, BIOTIN, TOTAL PANTOTHENIC ACID, VITAMIN C, AND VITAMIN B12 WERE UNAFFECTED, WHILE MEASURABLE THIAMIN AND FREE FOLATE CONCENTRATIONS INCREASED. OVERALL, THE TWO LOWER TEMPERATURE TREATMENTS WERE LESS DETRIMENTAL TO THE WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMINS IN HUMAN MILK.
