2.1 Intro to Milk 🥛 Flashcards
▪ a nutritious liquid extracted from the mammary glands of lactating animals, mostly from cows 🐄
▪ available in fresh, pasteurized,
condensed, and powdered
Milk
milk from animal source with highest protein and fat at 5.8 and 7.9%
Sheep 🐑
▪ contributes to emulsifying and stabilizing
caseinates
▪ assists with gelling
whey proteins
▪ aids with browning of baked goods, confectionary, and frozen desserts
lactose
▪ milk sugar, primary carbohydrate (12 grams per 8 ounce cup)
lactose
▪ product of the metabolism of lactose
▪ 🧀🍦 where flavor of cheeses and fermented milk products are derived from
lactic acid
▪ less soluble than sucrose
▪ may cause it to crystallize into lumps in non-fat dried milk
▪ produce a sandy texture in ice cream
lactose
▪ contains all the essential amino
acids in adequate quantities to support growth and the maintenance of life
▪ 8 grams per 1 cup
Protein
▪ primary protein found in milk
▪ accounts for almost 80% of protein
▪ can be precipitated with acid or certain enzymes
▪ precipitates at pH 4.6
Casein
▪ Another predominant protein found in milk, constitutes about 18%
▪ consist primarily of lactalbumin and lactoglobulin
▪ the liquid portion of milk that remains after cheese production
▪ isolated through ultrafiltration
process
▪ are used as emulsifiers and foaming and gelling agents 🍮
Whey Protein
▪ results in an inability to digest lactose due to insufficient quantities of lactase
lactose intolerance
▪ called milk fat or butterfat
▪ plays a major role in the flavor,
mouthfeel, and stability of milk products
▪ gives creaminess in milk chocolate which softens the characteristic brittleness of cocoa butter
▪ consists of triglycerides surrounded 🧈by phospholipid-protein membranes
Fat
▪ the fluid that remains when fat from whole milk is removed to make butter
buttermilk
▪ milk contains 33 mg in a cup of whole milk, 18 mg in reduced-fat (2%) milk, and 4 mg in fat-free (non-fat) milk
Cholesterol
▪ contains vitamins A and D, riboflavin (B2), and tryptophan (an amino acid important in the formation of the B vitamin niacin)
▪ low in vitamins C and E
Vitamins
▪ major mineral is calcium (300 mg
in a cup)
▪ 2 servings a day provide 1,000 mg Dietary Reference Intake for adults 19-50 years of age
▪ phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium chloride,and sulfur
▪ low in iron
Minerals
▪ the amount of __________ in the
cow’s feed influences its color
▪ ____________ pigments dissolved in
milk fat provide the yellowish tinge
of butter and cream
carotene/ carotenoid
▪ addition of ___________ to milk may
reduce rickets, a bone disease in
children
vit D
▪ a fat-soluble vitamin that is fortified in milk when fat is removed
vit A
▪ has the lowest count (highest
grade); must be pasteurized 🧫
Grade A
▪ responsible for grade
USDA
▪ used to treat wine, beer, and milk
▪ heating milk for a short time to below its boiling point killed microorganisms
▪ destroys 100% of pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, and molds
▪ 95-99% of other non-pathogenic
bacteria
Pasteurization
