Abstract

Milk is an essential food for children and it is clear that the best source of nutrition for babies is breast milk. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life. However, some babies may need complementary milk during the early months of life or may be weaned for some reason. Although it is not possible to produce the same product as breast milk, attempts have been made to imitate the nutritional characteristics of breast milk for the normal growth and development of infants. Infant Formula is considered as an effective alternative to breast milk and has been prepared to mimic the nutritional composition of breast milk. Formulas need to meet the factors of normal physical growth quality and adequate biological quality. The production process is also fully regulated and monitored to meet national and international quality standards. Today, cow's milk is the most widely used alternative to human milk and the basis of many Infant Formulas. In this study, the effect of adding walnut and almond oil to infant formula was investigated. The number of treatments was determined by using the Mixture Design method and the necessary tests were performed for infant formula and physicochemical and qualitative tests including moisture, dry matter, measurement of color parameters, density, particle size, insoluble index, pH, acidity, total sugar, fat, protein, ash, vitamin C, minerals, aflatoxin M1, wettability acceptable and scorched particles were done. The results showed that adding this formula could meet 90% of our expectations for the production of infant formula and not have an adverse effect on the physicochemical properties of the formula.
