| Abstract: | The stabilities of vitamins A and E were determined in 51 samples of growing‐up milk stored at 23, 30 and 37 °C for up to 9 months. Initially, the content of vitamin A and vitamin E was 330 RE μg/100 mL and 1.78 α‐TE mg/100 mL, respectively. Decreases in vitamin content were higher (P < 0.05) in formulas stored at 37 °C (from 330 to 111 μg RE/100 mL for vitamin A and from 1.78 to 1.16 mg α‐TE/100 mL for vitamin E). Over‐fortification of growing‐up milk could be recommended for vitamin E. |
