Our post today is on milk powder known as (cowbell
instant filled milk powder)
| cowbell sachet milk powder |
Let’s see the ingredients one after the other.
Skimmed
milk:
I have discussed about skimmed milk in my previous post, in case you missed it read
it here.
Buttermilk:
Buttermilk
refers to a number of dairy drinks. Originally, buttermilk was the liquid left
behind after churning butter out of cream. This type of buttermilk is known as traditional buttermilk.
Buttermilk
is also refers to a range of fermented milk drinks known as cultured buttermilk, which is produced
from cow's milk
One cup (237 mL) of whole milk contains
157 calories and 8.9 grams of fat whereas one cup of buttermilk contains 99
calories and 2.2 grams of fat. Buttermilk contains vitamins, potassium,
calcium, and traces of phosphorus
Vegetable
fats: I have discussed about vegetable fat in my previous post, in case you
missed it, read it here
Sugar
It is a generalized name for sweet,
short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.
They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of
sugar derived from different sources. Simple sugars are called monosaccharides
and include glucose
(also known as dextrose), fructose, and galactose.
The table or granulated sugar most customarily used as food
is sucrose,
a disaccharide.
(In the body, sucrose hydrolyses into fructose and glucose.) Longer chains of
sugars are called oligosaccharides. Chemically-different
substances may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars. Some
are used as lower-calorie food substitutes for sugar
described as artificial sweeteners.
According to Wikipedia, Some studies
involving the health impact of sugars are effectively inconclusive.
Soya lecithin
Lecithin is a fat that can be found in
many foods like soybeans and egg yolks. It is also known as Egg Lecithin,
Lecitina, Ovolecithin, Soy Lecithin, Soy Phospholipid, Soybean Lecithin,
Vegilecithin, Vitellin, Vitelline, and other names.
It is generally used as an emulsifier, or
lubricant, when added to food, but also has uses as an antioxidant and flavor
protector.
According to health line, many people
believe it carries potential health dangers. However, few, if any, of these
claims are backed by concrete evidence.
Soy lecithin is found in dietary
supplements, ice cream and dairy products, infant formulas, breads, margarine,
and other convenience foods. The good news is that it’s usually included in
such small amounts, it isn’t something to be too concerned about.
Vitamins
A, D, E,K are already discussed in previous post, read
here
Vitamin
C,
Vitamin C, also known
as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in
some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Humans,
unlike most animals, are unable to synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is
an essential dietary component.
Vitamin C plays an
important role in immune function and improves the absorption of nonheme iron
Folic
Acid
Milk is consumed and
can be fortified with folic acid but little is known about the effect of
fortified milk on blood folate concentration in women of childbearing age. According
to research carried out on women, Daily consumption of fortified milk powder
providing 375 microg folic acid increases blood folate and lowers homocysteine
concentrations in women of childbearing age.
Remember that what I am
doing is to bring awareness about what we eat and how we eat. I am not criticizing
any product but what I am pointing out is that we should be able to know that
our eating habit may affect our health. Some people use to add about three or
more sachets of powder milk in a cup of tea and we think we are enjoying our
selves. Please learn to moderate what you eat and how you eat
