Human milk is

Breastfeeding
and human milk are widely accepted as optimal for human infants nutrition.
Nowadays lifestyle often makes it difficult to maintain or even initiate human
lactation. This stuation is mostly related to the workload of women away from
home. Human breast milk storage for differed use is on possibility.
At the
determined time period vitamin A, E and β-carotene values show differences at
+4 °C and -20°C at the same time for each group. Seen
that vitamin A, E and β-carotene contents of milk examples hold at –20 °C is more preservative than the milk hold
at +4 °C. β-carotene values
determined at +4 °C for I, II and III
groups accordingly 8.61, 5.92 and 4.32 µg/dl but for IV, V and VI groups at -20
°C this values found
accordingly 8.21, 7.42 and 5.33 µg/dl. b-carotene values of control group is 9.65 µg/dl but our investigations
show that this amount has been more preserved in V and VI groups than II and
III groups. Also vitamin E value at the same groups and at the +4 °C accordingly are, 51.34, 46.65 and 42.85
µg/dl, at the –20 °C accordingly 50.88,
47.64 and 44.73 µg/dl. Vitamin E values again at the same groups accordingly at
the +4 °C 26.12, 22.56 and 1
accordingly 8.20 µg/dl and at the –20 °C 25.98, 23.34 and 20.37 µg/dl. Storage of human milk is safe at 4 oC for 4 hours, whereas at -20 oC it
is saf e for 7 days.
