TL;DR: A wide array of techniques is available for calcium measurement and official international bodies have standardized several procedures, with flame atomic absorption spectrometry well established together with inductively coupled plasma techniques, the latter being advantaged in terms of sensitiveness and multi-analyte capability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that interventions that promote healthy air quality should be adopted, especially in food areas with high-occupancy rates for prolonged times, to help minimize the potential exposure to airborne SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: In this paper, three commercial samples consisting of enriched calcium-free caseinophosphopeptides (CPP), enriched Ca-CPP, and an enzymatically hydrolyzed casein (hCN) were in vitro digested according to COST-Infogest protocol.

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal protein modifications of three commercial fortifiers were assessed by measuring well-recognized indexes of heat load, and the results better address the nutritional features of protein fortifiers and fortified PDHM intended for nutrition of preterm infants.

TL;DR: This work represents one of the few peptidomic investigations on fortifiers and fortified PDHM after a simulated preterm infant digestion and identified 515 unique peptides, mostly from human β-casein; 15 were homologous to potential BPs of human and bovine milk protein origin.
