TEAC: antioxidant capacity measured as Trolox Equivalents (µmol); DPPH: antioxidant capacity measured as % inhibition of DPPH radicals; PC: protein carbonyls (µmol); MDA: malondialdehyde (nmol); Haemolysis: % red blood globules haemolysed with respect to AAPH (100%); CAA: antioxidant capacity (CAA units). BM1: bovine milk preterm fortifier type 1; BM2: bovine milk preterm fortifier type 2; DM: donkey milk preterm fortifier; DC: donkey milk preterm concentrate; BC: bovine milk concentrate. Significantly different samples are indicated by different italicized letter (A, B, C, D and E) following Tukey (†) or Dunn’s (‡) post-hoc test (p < 0.05).
