Milk is a high-quality food with complete nutrients and easy to digest and absorb. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (2022) recommends that adults consume 300~500 grams of milk and dairy products per day.
In the face of the dazzling array of liquid milk on the market, have you been dazzled? Let's take you to understand the difference between pasteurized milk, sterilized milk and prepared milk.
Pasteurized milk refers to a liquid product made only from raw cow (sheep) milk through pasteurization and other processes. Pasteurized milk has a shorter shelf life and needs to be stored refrigerated.
Sterilized milk is divided into UHT milk and keep-sterilized milk:
UHT milk is a liquid product made of raw bovine (sheep) milk as raw material, with or without reconstituted milk, heated to at least 132 °C and sterilized for a short time in a continuous flow state, and then aseptically filled and other processes.
Maintain sterilized milk is a liquid product made from raw cow (sheep) milk, with or without reconstituted milk, whether it has been preheated or not, and sterilized after filling and sealing.
Sterilized milk can be stored at room temperature, and the shelf life is usually 1~6 months.
Prepared milk is a liquid product made of not less than 80% raw cow (sheep) milk or reconstituted milk as the main raw material, adding other raw materials or food additives or nutritional enhancers, and adopting appropriate sterilization or sterilization processes.
Know more about the nutritional value
Milk is mainly a kind of latex composed of water, fat, protein, lactose, minerals, vitamins, etc., and the moisture content accounts for 86%~90%.
The above three forms of products are the main liquid milk circulating in the mainland market, except for the loss of vitamin B1 and vitamin C, the nutritional value is not much different from fresh raw milk, but the prepared milk may be quite different because of whether it is fortified or not.
