dc.description.abstract |
Milk is a multi-nutrient fluid and it is the primary source of nutrition for infants. It consists of 82% of proteins. The protein in the milk is classified into casein and whey protein. Milk protein consists of 82% of casein and 18% whey protein. These proteins are commonly found in the mammalian milk and the function of casein is to provide energy to human body, resistance (antibodies and others) and growth factor by building blocks of all living tissue.
The proportion of children who are currently breastfeeding decreases with increasing child age and cow/formula milk through bottle-feeding plays a major role in the initiation of the weaning process so many industries have come up with containers that emulate the breastfeeding environment for infants but contamination happens in any point of the milk storage.
The Infant Milk Testing Feeding Bottle tests for the quality of milk using sensor technology to ensure that the vulnerable infants are taking milk that is good for their health at any time with ease by monitoring the amount of casein in the milk, temperature and Carbon dioxide levels in the feeding bottle. |
