[Effect of Manasan on fecal pH, fecal microflora and acid-base homeostasis in young infants].
Manasan is an adapted formula for infants on the basis of cow's milk simulating the mode of action of human milk on faeces-pH and faeces microflora. In two temporally separated tests the effect of Manasan-feeding on faeces-pH, faeces flora, and acid-base-homeostasis was controlled and compared with the effect of human milk and Ki-Na-formula. With Manasan fed up from birth or following breast-feeding faeces-pH was to be found in an acid range, clearly. With Ki-Na the faeces-pH was situated in the neutral range. With Manasan the bacteria flora revealed a noteworthy decrease in the number of Bacteroides germs achieving a non-putrefactive milieu. Concerning the acid-base-homeostasis as with human milk so with Manasan late metabolic acidosis were to meet rarely. The experiments revealed that in important parameters, particularly with microecological signs, Manasan is comparable with human milk.
