Schematic representation of method used to standardize energy content of breast milk for use in the NICU. Milk was firstly centrifuged at 3750 g.min at 4°C to concentrate the fat layer. A predetermined volume of skim milk was then removed if the fat concentration needed to be increased or added if the fat concentration needed to be decreased. The fat layer was then resuspended by four inversions of the vessel to produce reconstituted milk of specified fat concentration.
