Brief Summary  

The best characterized and commonly used method of human milk preservation is holder pasteurization. However, the knowledge about the significant negative impacts of this method on the active components in human milk results in the development of novel techniques that could better preserve nutritional and non-nutritional factors.

This study compares Pulsed electric field (PEF) method with Holders pasteurisation of the human milk.

To analyze the bacteriological and immunological effect of pulsed electric field on human milk and compare it with holders pasteurization.

To compare the major macronutrients in PEF treated and Holders pasteurized milk
