In vitro Digestion Characteristics of Hydrolyzed Infant Formula and Its Effects on the Growth and Development in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Infant formula, an important food for babies, is convenient and nutritious, and hydrolyzed formulas have attracted much attention due to their non-allergicity. However, it is uncertain whether hydrolyzed formulars cause obesity and other side effects in infants. Herein, three infant formulas, standard (sIF), partially hydrolyzed (pHIF), and extensively hydrolyzed (eHIF), were analyzed in an in vitro gastrointestinal digestion model. With increasing degree of hydrolysis, the protein moleculars, and allergenicity of the proteins decreased and the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid content increased. Moreover, the digestion model solutions quickly digested the small fat globules and proteins in the hydrolyzed formula, allowing it to become electrostatically stable sooner. The eHIF-f
