What is a lactic acid bacteria drink What is the difference between it and yogurt?

Lactic acid bacteria beverage is a beverage made by the cultivation and fermentation of lactic acid bacteria with fresh milk or dairy products as raw materials, and then added water, sugar and other mixtures. The protein content of the finished product is not less than 7g/l called lactic acid bacteria beverage.

There are two types of lactic acid bacteria beverages sold on the market: active lactic acid bacteria drinks and inactive lactic acid bacteria drinks. One is the active lactic acid bacteria beverage, referred to as active milk, that is, the lactic acid bacteria beverage contains live lactic acid bacteria. As required, the number of live lactic acid bacteria per milliliter of active milk should not be less than 1 million. When people drink this drink, lactic acid bacteria along the digestive tract to the large intestine, because of its activity, lactic acid bacteria in the human body in the large intestine rapidly multiply, while producing acid, thereby effectively inhibiting the reproduction and survival of spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria are harmless to the human body. This beverage requires storage and sale at 2 to 10 ° C, and the shelf life of active milk in sealed packaging is 15 days.

The other is an inactive lactic acid bacteria beverage, which is commonly referred to as a lactic acid bacteria beverage, which is generally inactive, and the lactic acid bacteria in it have been killed during the heated sterile treatment stage of the production process. This beverage can be stored and sold at room temperature, and there is no effect of active lactic acid bacteria. When purchasing such beverages, we consumers must see the product logo and ingredients, distinguish between lactic acid drinks, inactive lactic acid bacteria drinks and active milk, and understand their nutritional value.

The difference between yogurt and lactic acid bacteria drinks

There is a big difference between yogurt and lactic acid bacteria drinks, and you must pay attention to the distinction when purchasing.

Yogurt is a dairy product made from fresh milk that is sterilized and then added to acid (such as citric acid or lactic acid), or fermented by lactobacillus. After the milk is acidified, not only the nutrients in the original milk are not destroyed, but also because the casein clot in the milk is smaller, and the yogurt also improves the acidity of the baby's stomach, it is more beneficial to the baby's hydration and absorption.

Although lactic acid bacteria drinks are also marked in their ingredients to contain lactic acid bacteria, milk, etc., in fact, they only contain a small amount of milk, of which the content of protein, fat, iron and vitamins is much lower than that of milk. If you eat too much of an iced lactic acid bacteria drink, it will affect your appetite and make children reluctant to eat a full meal. And the protein content of lactic acid bacteria drinks is only 1%. Therefore, from the perspective of nutritional value, lactic acid bacteria drinks are far inferior to yogurt, so it is absolutely impossible to use lactic acid bacteria drinks instead of milk and yogurt to feed the baby, which is easy to cause malnutrition.
