Abstract

After a long evolutionary development starting at the appearance of the first mammals about 200 million years ago, breast milk (BM) was formed into a unique functional nutrition system with an individual composition that promotes normal growth and development of the newborn, and determines the prospects for health throughout life. The review describes the properties and functions of BM in order to objectify the physiological effects of breastfeeding and justify the composition of formulae for artificial feeding (AF). It discusses modern ideas about the protein composition of BM and its significance for the growth and development of the infant, the problems of adapting the protein component of AF formulae, and the prospects for their optimization on the basis of modern production technologies. The conclusion is that BM is a complex dynamic matrix, and therefore extensive research, including on the main protein components and their interrelationships, is needed to fully understand and scientifically substantiate approaches to its adaptation.
