The design of experiments (DOE) was used in the development of a laboratory procedure for the extraction of tannins from three infant food types comprising different ingredients of vegetable origin and meat. The diversity of vegetables included in the product formulas required the use of DOE to establish parameters that maximize the recovery of tannins using a central composite rotatable design. Once the experimental results from the DOE were obtained, response surface methodology was used to find the best analytical conditions for samples comprising different ingredients. Sample weight was found to be a critical factor in tannin extraction from foods. Different optimal conditions were obtained for samples including soya in the formula.
The orotic acid content of four commercially available infant formulas has been examined. Enfamil contains 118 microgram orotic acid per milliliter as fed, Similac 98, SMA 27, and Isomil less than 1 microgram/ml. As expressed relative to total solids, these formulas contain less than 0.1% orotic acid. Since consumption of 1% orotic acid does not lead to a fatty liver in any species examined other than the rat and 0.1% orotic acid fails to induce statistically significant hepatic changes in the rat, it is suggested that orotic acid at the level found in these formulas is not likely to pose a health hazard to the infants consuming them.
