Comparative Analysis of Nutrient Decay Rates of Infant Formula Milk Powder in Accelerated and Long-Term Storage Tests
According to the relevant requirements and methods specified in the Guidelines for Stability Study of Powdered Milk Formulae for Infants and Young Children(on Trial),nutrient decay in infant formula milk powder was investigated in accelerated and long-term tests.The results showed that the macronutrients and fatty acids in infant formula milk powder were relatively stable in both tests,with a decay rate of less than 5%.Vitamins did not significantly decay with a decay rate of less than 10%.The mineral iodine decayed evidently in the accelerated test,with a maximum decay rate of 11.37%.Other minerals did not significantly lose.The optional components were relatively stable in the accelerated and long-term tests,with a decay rate of less than 5%.
