Resumen_ingles
Human milk provides all necessary nutrients for growth of the term infant. Furthermore, in addition to universally recognized nutrients, human milk contains a number of nonnutritive components that are likely top play a role in supporting infant growth. In the last years, owing to their potential or proven benefits in infancy, new additions of nonnutritive components and semiessential nutrients to infant formulas have been implemented by a number of milk formula manufacturers. Nucleotides and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are the most relevant recent additions to infants formulas, and these have been aproved by a number of internacional agencies. Other nutrients, namely gangliosides, polyamines, bovine lactoferrin, and palmitic acid predominantly esterified in the sn-2 position (β-position) of the triglycerides, are under consideration to be added in the near future. The aim of this review is to analyze the scientific basis for the addition of these compounds to milk formulas.
