TEAC: antioxidant capacity measured as Trolox Equivalents (µmol); DPPH: antioxidant capacity measured as % inhibition of DPPH radicals; PC: protein carbonyls (µmol); MDA: malondialdehyde (nmol). RHM: raw human milk; DHM: holder pasteurized human milk; PIF1: preterm infant formula type 1; PIF2: preterm infant formula type 2. Significantly different samples are indicated by different italicized letter (A, B, C and D) following the Tukey (†) or Dunn’s (‡) post-hoc test (p < 0.05).
