Is it okay to add glucose to milk powder?

If glucose is added to milk powder, it will naturally increase the nutrients it contains, but you must pay more attention to it and choose the ratio according to your baby's own needs. If the glucose in the baby's body is already within a normal range, there is no need to deliberately add glucose to them to avoid excessive intake. After all, this substance is found in many foods.

1. Whole milk powder: It basically retains the nutritional components of milk and is suitable for all consumers, but is most suitable for young and middle-aged consumers.

2. Skim milk powder: It is made from skimmed milk and has a lighter taste. It is suitable for middle-aged and elderly consumers, obese consumers, and consumers who are not suitable for fat intake.

3. Instant milk powder: Similar to whole milk powder, it has the characteristics of good dispersibility and solubility. It is generally sweetened instant large-particle milk powder or sprayed lecithin milk powder.

4. Sweetened milk powder: It is made by adding a certain amount of sucrose to cow's milk, suitable for all consumers, and mostly has the characteristics of instant dissolution.

5. Infant formula powder: Generally speaking, infants refer to children under 12 months old, and toddlers refer to children between 1 and 3 years old. Therefore, this kind of milk powder is generally formulated in stages, suitable for infants and young children aged 0-6 months, 6-12 months, and 1-3 years old respectively. It comprehensively strengthens and adjusts the five major nutrients, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals, according to the physiological characteristics and nutritional requirements of infants and young children at different stages.

Infant formula powder is mostly made from cow's milk as the basic raw material, which is then "breast-milked", that is, it is made to simulate the composition of human breast milk as much as possible. Generally, there will be no concerns about nutritional deficiencies if babies eat formula until they are about one year old. However, infant formula does not contain the beneficial ingredients in breast milk, such as enzymes that aid digestion and immune proteins that fight bacteria.

6. Specially formulated milk powder: suitable for consumers with special physiological needs. This type of formulated milk powder is based on the physiological characteristics of different consumers. Some nutrients in the milk are removed or some nutrients are fortified (or both). Therefore, it has certain specific physiological functions, such as milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people, low-fat milk powder, diabetic milk powder, sleeping milk powder, low-lactate milk powder, bifidobacterium milk powder, etc.

2) Premature infant milk powder is formulated to meet the special needs of premature infants, such as their immature gastrointestinal digestion and absorption capabilities, and the need for more calories and special nutrients to complete individual growth. But it is not limited to premature babies. As long as it meets the baby's needs and is approved by the pediatrician, it can be given to the baby.
