Résumé

Holder pasteurization (HoP) (62.5 °C, 30 min) of donor human milk is widely used to inactivate potential pathogens but may lead to denaturation and aggregation of bioactive proteins, reducing their functionality. In contrast, high pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal technique that minimally affects assessed bioactive components; however, it is unclear how HPP affects protein digestion, and retention of functional bioactive proteins. Raw or processed (HoP; HPP[500 MPa,10 min]) pools of milk (N = 3, from 9 donors) were subjected in triplicate to in vitro digestion simulating the preterm infant gastrointestinal tract. Compared to raw or HPP, HoP increased intestinal proteolysis of lactoferrin and bioactive milk fat globule membrane proteins. Lysozyme activity was impacted by digestion following HoP (72 % to 7 %)—significantly more than HPP (75 % to 34 %) or raw (100 % to 39 %), which did not differ. Proteins in HPP-treated donor milk are digested no different than raw milk, while preserved bioactivity remains functional upon digestion.
