Analysis of Human Milk Oligosaccharides and Proteins in Infant Formula

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) represent the 3rd most abundant solid component in human breast milk. Approximately 200 different HMOs have been identified to date. A smaller fraction represents over 70% of the profile, with infant formula manufacturers including the most abundant 2’-fucosyllactose (2’FL) in many types of products for the past decade.

The webinar will provide some background on HMOs and cover an analytical method that is capable of quantifying up to six different HMOs within infant formula and adult nutritionals and will focus on the most prevalent human milk proteins targeted for infant formula, and how modern proteomics tools are used to address the challenges of targeted protein analysis in protein rich matrices such as infant formula.
