  • Only a few results are available on the size of human milk fat globules (MFG), despite its significance regarding fat digestion in the infant, and no data are available at <24h postpartum (PP). We measured the MFG size distribution in colostrum and transitional human milk in comparison with fat globules of mature milk and infant formula. Colostrum and transitional milk samples from 18 mothers were collected regularly during 4 d PP and compared with mature milk samples of 17 different mothers and 4 infant formulas. The size distribution was measured by laser light scattering. For further characterization, the ζ-potential of some mature MFG was measured by laser Doppler electrophoresis. The MFG diameter decreased sigmoidally in the first days. At <12h PP, the mode diameter was 8.9±1.0μm vs 2.8 ±0.3μm at 96h PP. Thus, the surface area of MFG increased from 1.1 ±0.3 to 5.4 ±0.7m2/g between colostrum and transitional milk. In mature milk, the MFG diameter was 4μm on average and increased with advancing lactation, whereas the droplets in infant formula measured 0.4μm. The ζ potential of mature MFG was −7.8±0.1mV. The fat globules are larger in early colostrum than in transitional and mature human milk and in contrast with the small-sized fat droplets in infant formula. Human MFG also have a low negative surface charge compared with bovine globules. These structural differences can be of nutritional significance for the infant.
