Transcript: Milk Presentation Irish Blockey/ Culinary Arts 1 Types of Nutrition in Milk? Nutrients The body uses protein to build and repaire tissues. Protein is also used to make enzymes, hormones and other body chemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. How does it help the body? Protein Potassium is known as an electrolyte, which helps the body maintain it's healthy balance of fluids. It maintains a normal blood pressure. It is crucial to heart functions and plays a key role in skeletal and smooth muscle contraction, making it important for normal digestive and muscular function. How does it help the body? Potassium The body needs calcium in order to build and maintain strong bones. The heart, muscles, and nerves needs calcium to function properly. Calcium plays an important role in muscle contraction and the release of hormones. How does it help the body? Calcium Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Helps prevent a type of anemia, megaloblastic anemia, which tires out and weakens the body. How does it help the body? Vitamin B12 Types of Dairy Products: Dairies Evaporated Milk: a processed form of milk that has had some of the liquid removed by evaporation. The process involves the evaporation of 60% of the water from the milk, followed by homogenization, canning, and heat-sterilization. What is it and it's process? Evaporated Milk Chocolate Milk: a sweetened chocolate-flavored milk. It can be made by mixing chocolate syrup with milk. What is it and it's process? Chocolate Milk Yogurt: a semisolid sourish food prepared from milk fermented added bacteria, often sweetened and flavored. When the milk arrives at the plant, its composition is modified before it is used to make yogurt. This standardization process typically involves reducing the fat content and increasing the total solids. Once modification occurs, it is pasteurized to kill bacteria and homogenized to consistently disperse fat molecules. What is it and it's process? Yogurt Skim Milk: milk from which the cream has been removed. Skim is more than just milk without fat. Skim is milk that's fortified with synthetic vitamins to replace those lost in fat-removal, and milk solids to replace protein and calcium lost in processing. Skipping over the natural v. synthetic vitamin debate, consider how milk solids are made and what they contain. What is it and it's process? Skim Milk Buttermilk: the slightly sour liquid left after butter has been churned, used in baking or consumed as a drink. It can be produced by mixing in a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice in a cup of milk and let it sit until it curdles. What is it and it's process? Buttermilk Cooking Tips for Milk: Cooking Tips Boiling is the method of cooking food in boiling water or other water-based liquids such as stock or milk. Simmering is gentle boiling, while in poaching the cooking liquid moves but scarcely bubbles. What is it/How to prevent it? Boiling over Scorching: to burn slightly and superficially so as to affect color To prevent milk from scorching while being heated, place in a pan with a thick base and ensure you take it off the heat just before boiling point. It is also a good idea to use a tall pan in which the milk reaches about the middle so that the milk has room to rise without boiling over. What is it/How to prevent it? Scorching Curdling: refers to a food ingredient that separates because of overheating or because an acidic ingredient has been added such as lemon juice to a milk or egg preparation. Don't Let it Boil. Boiling is a sure way to curdle milk. Stabilize with a Starch. Avoid Strong Acids. Season at the End. Temper the Milk. Use Cream Instead. What it is/How to prevent it? Curdling Milk Scum: The coagulation of proteins that forn when milk is heated in an uncovered pan Scum Formation-a solid layer that often forms on the surface of milk during heating. To prevent scum formation, stir the milk during heating and cover the pan. Boiling over-usually caused by scum formation. Use low heat to prevent. What is it/How to prevent it? Milk Scum Dairy Milk Alternatives: Dairy Milk Alternatives Coconut: the large, oval, brown seed of a tropical palm, consisting of a hard shell lined with edible white flesh and containing a clear liquid. It grows inside a woody husk, surrounded by fiber. Coconut milk has fewer nutrients than dairy milk. While many brands of coconut milk provide calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and vitamin D, these nutrients are all fortified. And, each brand of coconut milk can have a different nutrient combination, because there is no standard practice for fortifying with these nutrients or the amount at which they’re added. While real dairy milk is fortified with vitamins A and D, it provides nine essential nutrients in each 8-ounce glass. What is it/How it compare and contrast to dairy milk? Coconut Rice milk is processed
