Arla Foods Ingredients’ new optimized comfort concept for infant formula contains alpha-lactalbumin
Optimized comfort is at the heart of a new whey protein-based concept for infant formula developed by Arla Foods Ingredients.
Infant formulas contain significantly more protein than human milk. Since protein is hard to digest, this can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort issues in infants, such as colic and constipation, resulting in excessive crying. Other problems include regurgitation and stool issues. However, by altering the amount and types of proteins in formula, it is possible to reduce these problems.
