Hen eggs were used for the preparation of a multicomponent additive to milk mixtures for infants. Lysozyme hydrolysate containing up to 1 mg/ml lysozyme was obtained from egg albumen according to a specially developed technology. The hydrolysate was supplemented with vitamins C and PP. The egg yolk was used for the preparation of a yolk-fatty emulsion enriched with vitamin E, copper sulfate and ferrous lactate. Characteristics of the cow milk and milk mixtures supplemented with the multicomponent additive are maximally close to those of the human milk. The clinical trials of the lactic acid mixtures enriched with the multicomponent additive showed their high effectiveness in the nutrition of normal and sick infants. The technology of the additive production is simple; it is inexpensive and can be easily transported.
