Methods And Systems For Generating A Sterilized Human Milk Product

Patent No. EP3522732 (titled "Methods And Systems For Generating A Sterilized Human Milk Product") was filed by IMB on Oct 3, 2017. The application was issued on Apr 24, 2024.

Patent Summary

A closed, in-line processing system and method for sterilizing human milk to produce a sterilized human milk product that retains the nutritional benefits while eliminating harmful pathogens like B. cereus and C. botulinum. The method involves separating the raw milk into cream and skim, concentrating the skim, and then rapidly heating and cooling the combined cream-skim to sterilize. This allows retaining key milk components like immunoglobulins, oligosaccharides, and proteins while reducing pathogens. The sterilized milk is further processed and packaged for remote consumption by infants.
