what are the plants milk beverage type?
soy, almond, pea, coconut, cashew, oat, rice, walnut and hazelnut
What’s the deal with oat milk?
It has increased a lot, more people are buying it. Because more people are vegan, health consciousness, milk intolerances and allergies, “trendiness”
It is more environment-friendly - 10x less land than dairy milk, need less water than dairy or almond milk, less emission than cow’s milk
Loved by baristas and coffee enthusiasts -> feels like dairy milk, creamier than others alternatives, slightly sweet. It is easier to use in lattes, cappuccinos due to thicker texture
Higher in CHO and kcal than almond milk, has some fiber, lower sugar content, and it should be fortified.
What is the fortification that is mandatory in skim milk?
vitamin A
What is the fortification that is mandatory in all milk?
vitamin D
What are the optional vitamins and minerals that you can add to a plant-based beverage?
vitamin B12, riboflavin, calcium and zinc
Why it is a myth that milk and dairy can cause cancer?
because there is no evidence, in fact there is evidence that it can reduce the risk of bowel cancer
are plant-based beverage good alternatives for young children?
only fortified soy beverage that can be considered equivalent to cow’s milk. However, it is not know if bioavailability of these nutrients is the same as in cow’s milk
Myth or fact
saturated fat in dairy product raises blood cholesterol and increases risk of CVD
myth, recent reviews and meta-analysis brought new evidence about saturated fat in dairy. It seems that these saturated fats have a neutral or beneficial impact on heart health and that it is safe to consume with higher fat content
MYTH OR FACT
milk is full of growth hormone
myth, artificial growth hormones have been banned in Canada
what milk protein is causing the GI distress?
B casein
B casein contains what proteins?
A1 and A2 proteins
Between A1 and A2 proteins, which one is more tolerated and easier to digest?
A2
If the person can drink other animals milks sources, what protein that it is the problem?
A1 B casein and it is not lactose the problem. If so, it is suggested to drink A2 milk
Does A2 milk improve symptoms if the person is lactose intolerant?
no
what is the cho used in milk?
lactose
How much calories does lactose provide in milk?
Half of the calories
Which enzyme it is required to digest the milk?
lactase
Why there is some people there are lactose intolerant?
Because the lactase production, so the enzyme production, ceases after childhood in the majority of humans
Lactobacilli and lactococci do what do the milk? and what happens to the milk when they do it?
They eat lactose and transform it into lactic acid. This turns the milk sour but prevents it from being spoiled by other harmful bacteria
Milk with a higher fat content makes what?
makes more cream or butter and it is more expensive
When do cows produce more milk with a high fat content?
in winter
How is fat molecules arranged?
they are arranged into globules composed of phospholipids and proteins - stabilizes the emulsion
The composition of fat in milk brings what characteristics?
allows for a high tolerance to heat but not to freezing temperatures.
Freezing water pierces the globules and breaks them, destabilizing the emulsion
What curd -> casein do?
they will clump together with acids and enzymes ( alpha casein, beta casein, k-casein, and y-casein)
