TL;DR
Pressure-treated samples retained significantly higher levels of immunoglobulin A and lysozyme activity compared to samples treated with low-temperature/ long-time pasteurization, suggesting that high-pressure processing is a potential alternative to thermal pasteurizing of human milk that can give greater retention of some bioactive components.
Abstract
Banked human milk, processed using low-temperature/long-time or Holder pasteurization, inactivates pathogenic microorganisms but degrades important biochemical components. High-pressure processing kinetics favor inactivation of microorganisms with retention of biochemical activity and nutritional quality of foods. The effects of high-pressure processing (400 MPa) and low-temperature/long-time pasteurization (62.5°C, 30 minutes) on total immunoglobulin A and lysozyme activity in human milk were investigated. Indirect modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent and a Micrococcus lysodeikticus turbidimetric assay were performed to measure immunoglobulin A immunoactivity and lysozyme activity, respectively. Pressure-treated samples retained significantly higher ( P < .05) levels of immunoglobulin A and lysozyme activity compared to samples treated with low-temperature/ long-time pasteurization. These data suggest that high-pressure processing is a potential alternative to thermal pasteurization of human milk that can give greater retention of some bioactive components. Further research is needed to determine whether high-pressure processing can inactivate pathogens of concern in donor human milk. J Hum Lact. 23(3):253-261.

Taking into account the baroprotective effects of some food constituents and the strong resistance of some microbial strains, recent research aims at combined processes in which high pressure is associated with moderate temperature, CO2, other bacteriostatic agents, or to nonthermal physical processes such as ultrasounds, alternative currents, high-voltage electric pulses, and so forth.
