"Dismantling 100 Food Ingredients Table" NO.3 Yili QQ Star Children's Growth Milk
After a long time of not visiting the supermarket, the girl said that she wanted to have a children's party that day, so she went to the supermarket to buy something, and sure enough, this link of visiting the supermarket was my food education class. After arguing between yogurt and pure milk for a long time, the girl still wants to try an SKU, Yili QQ Star Children's Growth Milk, today to disassemble this children's concoction milk.
Get a product, first determine the product name, product category, this is not the big logo on the packaging, but the four words of the product category on the ingredient list, which is the first thing we have to look at to identify dairy products, because we have to resolutely reject the category of milk drinks.
Product category information
This is written very clearly, modulated milk, and the product standard implemented is GB-25191. As for which ingredients are specifically modulated and how they are proportioned, then look down at the ingredient list.
Ingredient list
Ingredient 1, raw milk [like], the main raw material, non-additives, this is no problem, equivalent to the tone OK.
Ingredient 2, concentrate apple juice [smile], improve the flavor, make the product appear sour and sweet taste, more pleasing to the child's taste buds, useless and harmless, always better than chemical terms of additives.
Ingredient 3, polydextrose [like], today get new knowledge points, in my reference book did not find, network search after learning, the original glucan is a new type of water-soluble dietary fiber, so far more than fifty countries have been approved as a healthy food ingredients to use, after eating has the function of maintaining gastrointestinal patency.
Ingredient 4, fish oil extract [zan] (DHA content≥ 125mg/g), DHA promotes baby eye and brain development, n-3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Ingredient 5, arachidonic acid oil, also called ARA, n-6 series polyunsaturated fatty acids, but this few people will lack.
Ingredients 6, vitamin E, nutritional enhancers.
Ingredient 7, single and diglyceride fatty acid esters, belongs to the quenching and tempering of food additives, is an artificial synthesis of emulsifiers. My standard is that synthetic things don't like it and try to avoid this type of product as much as possible.
Ingredient 8, sodium alginate, is a by-product of iodine and mannitol extracted from the kelp or sargassum of brown algae, its aqueous solution has a high viscosity, has been used as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier and the like for food. However, it is non-toxic, and like emulsifiers, it plays a role in tempering, that is, the viscosity, texture, taste and other sensory experiences presented by the milk.
Ingredient 9, sodium tripolyphosphate, is a class of amorphous water-soluble linear polyphosphate, commonly used in food, as a moisture retention agent, leavening agent, acidity regulator, stabilizer, coagulant, anti-caking agent. There is a maximum usage limit, this does not feel like a good thing, ah, my article can be fortunate to be seen by the manufacturer? Can you explain why you joined?
Ingredient 10, sodium ascorbate, commonly used natural antioxidant, this ingredient is no problem.
Ingredient 11, food with flavor, see the fragrance I hehe, I want to say that I and my child's body do not need the fragrance. This ingredient need not be asked, it is purely for taste considerations, not nutrition and health.
The ingredient list is over, take a closer look at the nutrition facts list.
Nutrition facts list
Protein content 3.8g, at first glance looks very high, look at the * number, each part according to 125ml, converted to 100g, protein content is 3.04g, it is the general level, not prominent, calcium content converted into 100ml as a unit, calcium content of 100mg.
Although it is necessary to go through the trouble of identifying whether it is a false standard, it is more convenient to calculate the total daily intake, for example, the recommended intake of protein per day for 8-year-old children is 40g, then a box of this milk can provide 3.8g, about one-tenth of the amount, the calcium required is 1000mg per day, and this box provides 125mg, which is also about one-tenth of the amount.
To sum up, this is a product that I can barely put in the shopping basket, because compared to this actual ingredient of children's concoction milk, I prefer to choose clean pure milk, or infant formula powder, a clean and assured, a comprehensive nutrition and reassuring, if it is you, how do you choose?
