Scientists have found a way to make a 'copy' of breast milk

Breast milk is extremely important for babies during the first months of life. However, for mothers who have little milk or even lose milk, the solution of the scientists has just found it to be very helpful.

Experts have discovered a special oil and designed a method to produce oils that are given the same chemical structure as breast milk. Recently published research has received special attention from the scientific community.

Scientists have found a way to make formula like natural breast milk.

The study was conducted by Rothamstead , one of the oldest agricultural research organizations in the world in the United Kingdom.

According to Rothamstead's research, currently very few infant formulas contain p triacylglycerol (triglycerides) like natural breastmilk. Therefore, the discovery of how to produce triacylglycerol formula in breast milk is a huge breakthrough.

Researchers from Rothamstead said that while breast milk is the best and first choice for infants, the team hopes their breakthrough could lead to improvements in all types of formula for infants. babies need.

Dr Peter Eastmond, who led the research, emphasized: 'We designed the plant's metabolism so that the fat it produces is structured as found in human milk, not vegetable oil. Almost all other organisms in nature are fat-free with a structure similar to the fat in human milk.

If we can find cheaper methods to produce fat that closely resembles the structure of fat in human milk, it will help produce infant formula at a much lower cost. much'.
