Treating donor human milk with alternative pasteurization methods, high-pressure processing and ultraviolet-C irradiation, and their impact on pathogen inactivation, nutrient content and protein bioactivity: a scoping review.

Human milk is a complex bioactive food matrix that supports the growth and development of infants. In the absence of their parent's own milk, hospitalized preterm infants receive Holder pasteurized donor milk (DM). However, Holder pasteurization (HoP; 62.5 °C, 30 min) inactivates bioactive proteins and damages some nut...
