Fresh milk (pure milk) is milk with relatively high protein content and less loss of various nutrients. Most fresh milk is pasteurized, which means that harmful microorganisms in milk are killed at 72℃-75℃, while nutrients beneficial to human body can be preserved in milk, which can be stored for 5-7 days at 4℃- 10℃ and at the same time, the nutrients in milk can be preserved to the greatest extent. This is also what we generally call milk.
Yogurt is a milk product which is made of milk, pasteurized, then added with beneficial bacteria (lactic acid bacteria), fermented, cooled and filled. Lactose, protein and fat in milk were degraded by lactic acid bacteria fermentation, and the amount of soluble calcium and phosphorus was increased, and some B vitamins were synthesized. Therefore, compared with ordinary milk, yogurt has higher nutritional value and is suitable for patients with lactose intolerance. However, at present, many yogurts are not fermented with real milk, but concentrated milk (condensed milk) or milk powder, and then an appropriate amount of water is added to make an emulsion with a proportion of water and solids in the original milk, which is called reconstituted milk. According to national requirements, products made of reconstituted milk should be marked as "reconstituted milk" or "water and milk powder" in the ingredient list.
Milk-containing (cow's) milk beverage refers to a kind of milk beverage which is made by fermentation and non-fermentation, adding water, fruit flavor agent and sweetener, etc., and its nutritional index is different from that of pure milk. Milk-containing beverage is just a kind of beverage in the final analysis, which is the same as other beverages we usually drink, but the taste is different.
The nutritional value of the same amount of milk-containing beverage is far less than that of milk. Therefore, for those who like to drink milk and mistakenly think that milk-containing beverage is milk, they must learn to distinguish the difference between them, especially for children in the growing stage, and they should distinguish it carefully. Don't drink milk-containing beverage as milk!
So, how to distinguish between prepackaged milk and milk-containing drinks?
First, it is necessary to distinguish between milk and milk-containing drinks when buying, mainly depending on the ingredient list of the product. The ingredients of pure milk are all fresh milk, while milk drinks are made of milk powder with many additives. According to the standards required by the state, the milk content in milk-containing drinks should not be less than 30%, that is to say, the water content should not be higher than 70%. It is quite different from milk in terms of nutritional value such as fat and protein.
The second is to see all kinds of product signs clearly. Both milk and milk drinks must be marked with QS food market access mark on the outer packaging. In addition to the QS logo, we should also look at the production date, shelf life, raw materials or ingredients list on the outer packaging to know whether the raw materials of the product are fresh milk, milk powder or pure milk. Special attention should be paid to the food label: food production license number: for example: QS 1234.
050 1 1234 Whether the food category name code in the middle four digits is 050 1. In the food classification table of food production license market access system, the code of dairy products is 050 1, including liquid milk, milk powder and other dairy products; Infant formula milk powder code is 0502; The beverage code is 0601; The code of frozen drinks is1001; The real attributes of food can be determined by the food category name code in the middle of QS 12 digit code.
I hope that through the above introduction, we can teach you how to distinguish between milk and milk-containing drinks, choose the drinks that suit you, and cheer for your health!
