In the article there is considered the substantiation of raise demands to the chemical composition of children’s food and indices of their safety, with taking into account the immaturity of metabolic and physiological processes and limitations of “depot” of nutrients in babies. Based on research results of leading experts in the field of children’s nutritiology and according to the recommendations of the Codex Alimentarius of the Commission of FAO/WHO, ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition, the EFSA recommendations and EUDirectives there were specified requirements for the ingredient composition, content of essential components and indices of the nutritional value of substitutes for human milk and functional products for the nutrition of infants of the first year of life. There are shown stages of the development of the Russian system of hygienic requirements for baby food, and the direction of its harmonization with international and European standards, particularly for substitutes for human milk and products of dietary therapeutic and dietary preventive nutrition for babies. There are considered aspects of the introduction ofproducts and weaning food dishes into the food ration of infants. There is presented the classification ofproducts of children’s food and the assortment of each group of weaning foods. There is provided the modern legislative framework in the field of the quality and safety for infant nutrition. There was shown the difference between domestic legislation and regulatory framework of the EurAsEC Customs Union of the European countries in the field offood products safety for children older three years. There are presented proposals on the creation of the single regulatory base within the framework of the EurAsEC Customs Union for control the quality and safety of all the baby foods

Nutrition is one of the most important factors that ensure normal child growth and development. In Kyrgyzstan there are about 160,298 children younger than 1 years of age, for whom special baby food is needed and this need is provided only by expensive imported products. The purpose of the study is to develop recipes and technology of new fruit and vegetable purees for baby food using local raw materials; determination of the basic physicochemical parameters of a new product. As objects of research were selected apple, pear, pumpkin, potatoes. Rheological properties were obtained by shear rate scan tests in a rotational rheometer, with geometry of concentric cylinders in temperatures of 25, 35, 45°C. The thixotropy analysis was made through the calculation of the difference between the areas under up and down cycles' flow curves. In order to describe the rheological behavior of beverage, the flow curves were modeled using equations such as Herschel-Bulkley, Casson, and Ostwald-De-Waele. Based on the values of correlation coefficients and variance of the estimated parameters, Ostwald-De-Waele model was chosen for fitting of experimental data. A special feature of new recipes is the use of uzgen rice (local variety of rice) flour and honey. These ingredients give purees the texture and consitency required for children. Developed canned food due to the balanced content of carbohydrates and organic acids have good sensory properties. The content of carotenoids (pro vitamin A) is 0.4 mg%, which provides a daily rate. All designed purees are recommended as a breakfast purees for babies from 6 to 24 months.

AbstractDespite poor treatment results, a family-oriented approach and the securing of residency have been deemed essential to recovery from resignation syndrome (RS). In a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated an alternative method involving environmental therapy, with patients separated from their parents, while actively abstaining from involving the asylum process in treatment. We examined medical records, social services acts, and residential care home acts from 13 individuals treated at Solsidan residential care home between 2005 and 2020. Severity and outcome were assessed with Clinical Global Impression, Severity and Improvement subscales. Thirteen participants were included and out of these nine (69%) recovered, i.e. they very much or much improved. Out of the eight that were separated, all recovered, also, one non-separated recovered. The difference in outcome between subjects separated and not was significant (p = 0.007). Moreover, out of the five which received a residency permit during treatment, one recovered whereas four did not. The difference in outcome between subjects granted residency and not was significant (p = 0.007). The data revealed three (23%) cases of simulation where parents were suspected to have instigated symptoms. Our evaluation suggests that separation from parents and abstaining from invoking residency permit could be essential components when treating RS. Relying on a family-oriented approach, and residency could even be detrimental to recovery. The examined intervention was successful also in cases of probable malingering by proxy.

The quality and safety of food products, including those intended for children’s nutrition, are a priority for the World Health Organization. At present, in order to ensure the quality and safety of food products for child nutrition, there are numerous regulatory and legal acts in Russia. The article provides the systematization of the regulatory and legal framework, taking into account the requirements for food products intended for child nutrition (for the raw materials used, prepared food, its nutritional value, enrichment with vitamins and micronutrients, the use of appropriate packaging and marking) and for the processes that make up its circulation (manufacturing, storage, transportation, sale, advertising and product information). Information on marking of food products for children’s nutrition in accordance with Technical Regulations of the Customs Union 022/2011 was given. The information on the main consumer characteristics of food products specified in the legislation of the Russian Federation was considered. When comparing this information, its inconsistency was established, which can make it difficult for the consumer to choose the right food products for children’s nutrition and its further use. With regard to food products intended for child nutrition, marking serves as the way of communicating information to the consumer. As a result of comparing the information on marking of packaged food products with information on the main consumer characteristics of food products, their inconsistency was also revealed, which may complicate the observance of the consumer’s rights for safety of product and information about the product. It was noted that marking of food products for child nutrition is a relevant source of information for a doctor. The authors proposed ways to optimize the regulatory framework governing the quality and safety of food products intended for child nutrition. Key words: food products, child nutrition, safety and quality of child nutrition, technical regulation, marking of child nutrition, consumer protection

Организация искусственного вскармливания детей включает использование специализированных продуктов детского питания. Основными принципами создания адаптированных детских молочных смесей является приближение их к составу и свойствам женского молока и соответствие особенностям пищеварения и метаболизма ребенка. Немаловажным моментом при этом является адаптация углеводного компонента. В современных формулах детских адаптированных смесей часть лактозы заменена на мальтодекстрин. Целью настоящих исследований являлось изучение пищевой ценности, показателей безопасности отечественного углеводного ингредиента мальтодекстрина и возможности его применения в специализированной пищевой продукции для детского питания. Результаты исследований органолептических, физико-химических и микробиологических показателей опытного образца мальтодекстрина подтвердили соответствие требованиям, предъявляемым к углеводным ингредиентам для производства продуктов детского питания. При исследовании возможности использования отечественного мальтодекстрина в производстве адаптированных продуктов детского питания подтверждена его целесообразность для оптимизации углеводного состава готового продукта. The organization of artificial feeding of children includes the use of specialized baby food products. The main principles of creating adapted infant formula are to approach the composition and properties of human milk and to match the characteristics of the child's digestion and metabolism. An important point in this case is the adaptation of the carbohydrate component. In modern formulas of children's adapted mixtures, part of the lactose is replaced with maltodextrin. The purpose of these studies was to study the nutritional value, safety indicators of the domestic carbohydrate ingredient-maltodextrin and the possibility of its use in specialized food products for baby food. The results of studies of the organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of the maltodextrin prototype confirmed compliance with the requirements for carbohydrate ingredients for the production of baby food. When studying the possibility of using domestic maltodextrin in the production of adapted baby products, its expediency for optimizing the carbohydrate composition of the finished product was confirmed.

Human milk (HM) is considered the gold standard for infant nutrition. HM contains macro- and micronutrients, as well as a range of bioactive compounds (hormones, growth factors, cell debris, etc.). The analysis of the complex and dynamic composition of HM has been a permanent challenge for researchers. The use of novel, cutting-edge techniques involving different metabolomics platforms has permitted to expand knowledge on the variable composition of HM. This review aims to present the state-of-the-art in untargeted metabolomic studies of HM, with emphasis on sampling, extraction and analysis steps. Workflows available from the literature have been critically revised and compared, including a comprehensive assessment of the achievable metabolome coverage. Based on the scientific evidence available, recommendations for future untargeted HM metabolomics studies are included.

Human milk (HM) is the first dietary exposure in infancy and the best nutritional option for growth and healthy development of the newborn and infant. The concentrations of macronutrients, namely proteins, carbohydrates and lipids, change during lactation stages. HM has been studied extensively in the first 6 months of lactation, but there are limited data regarding milk composition beyond 1 or 2 years postpartum. The aim of our study was to describe longitudinal changes in HM macronutrient concentrations during the prolonged lactation of healthy mothers from the 1st to the 48th month. For the macronutrient content of milk of mothers breastfeeding for longer than 18 months, fat and protein increased and carbohydrates decreased significantly, compared with milk expressed by women breastfeeding up to 12 months. Moreover, the concentration of fat, protein and carbohydrates in HM over 2 years of lactation from the 24th to the 48th month remained at a stable level. However, analyzed macronutrients were positively (carbohydrate, r = 0.51) or negatively (fat, r = −0.36 and protein, r = −0.58) correlated with the amount of feeding. Our results create a greater potential for understanding the nutritional contribution of HM over 2 years of lactation and showed that the source of calories in breast milk for older children is mainly fat, while carbohydrates play a greater role in infant nutrition in the early stage. The observed changes of macronutrient concentrations from the 1st to the 48th month of lactation are probably related to the adaptation of milk composition to the increased energy demand of the intensively growing child.
