French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Food & Dairy / infant formula/dairy

French term or phrase: néoformés

This is the more scientific bit of a general sales presentation of a line of infant formula, which has many advantages, etc. Among them, the proteins used in it, which
"ont les charactéristiques suivantes:
- Elles sont natives : absence de néoformés dus à la dégradation enzymatique du fromage
- Elles bénéficient d’un aminogramme supérieur aux protéines traditionnelles"

It's not quite clear what it is that is neoformé, if it's not the proteins.
I can't find descriptions of formula in English that tout this particular type of process or advantage.

Any food chemists have any ideas?

neoformed compounds

Explanation:
I think this is what these are usually called in English. The French seems to be using it as a noun by itself.

Often abbreviated to NFC

“neoformed compounds”

“to monitor lipid neoformed compounds (NFC)”

That definitely sounds right. I don't see any other infant formula manufacturers talking about it, but I guess that's the French on the cutting edge again.
Many thanks

progeny/progenies

Explanation:
Hi Kate,

Although I'm not an expert in this field by any means, I believe this is the correct translation for "néoformé".

The link I have come across is an article on dairy progeny testing, which would appear to fit in with your context here (i.e. related to milk/cheese etc).

Hopefully someone with a bit more expertise can back this up!
