Salt Equilibria and Protein Glycation in Young Child Formula

Young child formula (YCF) products are important sources of nutrients for children 1–3 years of age. Salt equilibria and protein glycation are two of the crucial aspects af- fecting nutritional properties and digestive behaviors of YCF, but detailed insights into these two aspects of YCF products remains limited. This study analyzed the distribution of salts and the level of protein glycation in 25 commercial YCF products from the retail mar- ket in China. The YCF products were reconstituted...
