The soyͲbased formulas were the most impacted products (11.1% and 8.4% increase, respectively).
The overall contribution of these minor compounds was quite low, representing only 2.4 % of the
total folate levels. When focusing on milk based products, the overall contribution of minor folates
after the deconjugase step is only 1.2%.
