Milk substitute

src: media.buzzle.com

A milk substitute is a liquid intended to replace milk from mammals. It is a whitish liquid that resembles milk and is often packed as a powder to mix with water to produce milk-like fluid. Substitute milk usually contains powdered milk in various proportions of 30 to 80%, with the rest composed of other ingredients including whey, palm oil, coconut oil and similar vegetable extracts. Because of their composition, milk substitutes tend to have a longer shelf life and can withstand higher temperatures than milk, without damaging.

Substitute milk is often used to replace dairy milk in tea, coffee, or recipes. Substitute milk includes crop milk (including soy milk), used by those who want to avoid animal products for health or ethical reasons, including vegan, or because of flavor preferences.

Some milk substitutes marketed to consumers are healthier than cow's milk, because they may be lower in saturated fat and, if they are completely free of animal products, are cholesterol-free. When milk substitutes lack of vitamin or mineral food present in milk (such as vitamin B ₁₂ or calcium), they are usually enriched.

Consumption

Humans consume milk because of its nutritional value, especially minerals such as calcium, vitamins such as B ₁₂ , and high protein content, but also because of taste preference, because all human babies are weaned on breast milk or similar baby formulas, leading to positive sense associations later on. Therefore, any milk substitute is usually expected to meet these standards, although there is no legal requirement to do so. It also produces more additives that are incorporated into milk substitutes to compensate for their deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and natural proteins.

An investigative documentary film by DW (Deutsche Welle) reveals that calves in dairy companies in the German Alps are being fed replacement milk because of the higher cost of fresh milk.

Composition

In the United States, dairy milk is required by federal law to contain a certain amount of vitamins A and D. However, there is no requirement for milk substitutes. In Germany, milk substitutes tend to contain 30% milk powder, with the remaining 70% consisting of cheaper whey and vegetable extracts, especially palm oil and coconut oil.

Milk replacement

Substitute products for milk are created because of consumer demand. Customers all over the world want to taste healthier, milk-looking drinks and how to get the same nutrients as cow's milk, but without the often-present antibiotics, growth hormones, and painkillers caused by modern factory farming. Also of paramount importance is the fact that the substitute enables vegans, and people who are seriously ill (gout, PKU, rheumatoid arthritis etc. Needs avoidance of foods with high protein content because of purine levels, among other factors), lactose is intolerant , or allergic to milk proteins, to enjoy all foods that are generally cow's milk based without health problems or ethical issues.

Alternate products

Soy milk is one of the most popular non-dairy milk products on the shelf. It is made from soybeans and contains about the same amount of protein as dairy milk. Although claimed by some people contain twice as much sugar and saturated fat but, when enriched by the manufacturer it may be a source of calcium and vitamin D and some B vitamins such as B12, but this is not in all brands of soy milk.

Almond milk is produced from almonds by grinding almonds with water, then tightening the pulp from the liquid. This procedure can be done at home. Almond milk does not contain high amounts of saturated fat or calories.

Rice milk is widely used for grilling because it tastes sweet, but in the case of peanuts or soybeans, wheat milk processed from rice may be better. When enriched, this milk can be a source of calcium, vitamin B12, and vitamin D2.

Hemp milk is made by grinding flaxseed with water, which is then filtered to produce spicy creamy milk. Hemp milk is naturally rich in protein and amino acids.

Santan is made by mixing water with freshly shredded white in a ripe coconut porridge. It is also a source of calcium and vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6. Coconut water is usually very high in fat and calories, but low in protein, which makes it a good substitute for cream, as it can be whipped in the same way to decorate baked goods or desserts.

In dairy products derived from yeast, sugar is mixed with yeast and the resulting fermentation process creates whey protein and casein (which is identical to that found in milk). This is then combined with sugar, fats, and vegetable minerals to reproduce milk, which can then be used like regular milk, including cheese. Milk substitutes, produced in this way, do not require the use of animals and (compared to ordinary milk production), making it more efficient, produce less greenhouse gases and use less land (since no animals need to be fed, medicated, impregnated, milked, and slaughtered when no longer productive).

Lactose intolerance

Lactose is the main sugar found in milk. Lactose intolerance occurs when a person lacks the lactase enzyme, which breaks down the lactose in the intestine. Bloating, cramps, constipation, or diarrhea can occur when a person who is lactose intolerant consumes dairy products. Various products are available that contain milk substitutes, so the food can still be consumed by individuals with lactose intolerance. Food products that have been produced with milk substitutes include milk, yogurt, shake topping and ice cream.

Lactose-free manufacture

Lactose-free foods, such as non-dairy ice cream, may require different processes during manufacture. For example, traditional milk ice cream is made with a combination of lactose-containing dairy products, but non-dairy ice cream can be synthesized using hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (coconut oil, palm kernel oil and soybean oil) along with emulsifiers, proteins, sweeteners and water. Some synthetic ice cream products have not been claimed to have the same taste and texture as traditional milk ice cream.

But many non-dairy, non-dairy, small, organic, gourmet or food-focused producers create all of their products using traditional, natural and little altered methods. The preferred base for non-dairy ice cream is coconut milk or plant cream, because lower fat and water content prevents ice crystal formation.

Baby formula

Breast-milk substitutes are available for infants if breastfeeding is not an option. Infant formula milk made from cow's milk can be a supplement to breast milk or as the only source of nutrition before solid foods are introduced. It is important that the formula is enriched with food nutrition that is optimized for babies and toddlers, such as iron, to ensure the survival, growth and health of the baby. Those who want to avoid animal products can use soy-based baby formula or rice.
