“…Human milk is considered the standard food for newborn, recommended by regulations as exclusive source of nutrition during the first six months of life (Johnston, Landers, Noble, Szucs, & Viehmann, 2012), it is able to supply nutrients and bioactive compounds, establishing a qualitative and quantitative balance between it, which benefit in maturation, development and protection against diseases (Dórea, Fenton, LaKind, & Berlin, 2012) for containing immunological properties (Briere et al, 2016).…”

Human milk has a balance of nutrients and bioactive compounds, and it must be the exclusive food source during the first six months of the infant's life. In cases where the woman is unable to breastfeed, due to hypogalactia or pre-existing disease, the use of donated human milk, available in human milk banks, is recommended. Currently, in the human milk banks the processing applied for greater conservation is Holder pasteurization. Therefore, the objective of this work is to perform a search in the literature about new possible treatments to be applied to human milk, and its influence on its physical-chemical composition; and in this sense, the studied processes were: Holder pasteurization, lyophilization, spray-drying, high hydrostatic pressure, high temperature and short time, and short wave ultraviolet irradiation. For that, a search was performed in databases, and 126 articles were selected to carry out this review according to the keywords used. It was observed that the studied treatments can be applied for the processing and conservation of human milk, once it was applied in matrices with similar composition.

“…To help prevent unwarranted anxiety in breastfeeding women and in those deciding whether or not to breastfeed, researchers have encouraged a heightened attention to use of risk communication language that does not unduly frighten (LaKind, Fenton, and Dorea, 2009). For example, Berlin et al (2002) stated, “…in human milk studies the communication of information to participants is at least as important as obtaining study data from the participants themselves.” Further, Dórea et al (2012) noted, “Scientists conducting biomonitoring research using human milk have an obligation to understand the sensitivity of this issue and the impact their information and/or message may have on health professionals and breastfeeding mothers.” As an example of a messaging strategy sensitive to the concerns of breastfeeding women, the neutral phrase “lipophilic persistent environmental chemicals (LPECs)” was chosen over “persistent organic pollutants (POPs)” or “persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals” to describe the chemical class of interest in this review.…”

Lipophilic persistent environmental chemicals (LPECs) have the potential to accumulate within a woman’s body lipids over the course of many years prior to pregnancy, to partition into human milk, and to transfer to infants upon breastfeeding. As a result of this accumulation and partitioning, a breastfeeding infant’s intake of these LPECs may be much greater than his/her mother’s average daily exposure. Because the developmental period sets the stage for lifelong health, it is important to be able to accurately assess chemical exposures in early life. In many cases, current human health risk assessment methods do not account for differences between maternal and infant exposures to LPECs or for lifestage-specific effects of exposure to these chemicals. Because of their persistence and accumulation in body lipids and partitioning into breast milk, LPECs present unique challenges for each component of the human health risk assessment process, including hazard identification, dose-response assessment, and exposure assessment. Specific biological modeling approaches are available to support both dose-response and exposure assessment for lactational exposures to LPECs. Yet, lack of data limits the application of these approaches. The goal of this review is to outline the available approaches and to identify key issues that, if addressed, could improve efforts to apply these approaches to risk assessment of lactational exposure to these chemicals.
