Objective To examine the integrity (pH, bacterial counts, host defense factors, nutrient contents, and osmolality) of freshly expressed and previously refrigerated human milk subjected to long-term freezer storage.Study design Mothers donated 100 mL of freshly expressed milk. Samples were divided into baseline, storage at -20 degrees C (fresh frozen) for 1, 3, 6, and 9 months, and prior storage at + 4 degrees C for 72 hours (refrigerated frozen) before storage at-20 degrees C for 1 to 9 months. Samples were analyzed for pH, total bacterial colony count, gram-positive and gram-negative colony counts, and concentrations of total protein, fat, nonesterified fatty acids, lactoferrin, secretory IgA, and osmolality.Results Milk pH, total bacterial colony count, and Gram-positive colony counts decreased significantly with freezer storage (P
