  • The Role of Dairy and Plant Based Dairy Alternatives in Sustainable Diets
    SLU Future Food – a research platform for a sustainable food system The role of dairy and plant based dairy alternatives in sustainable diets Future Food Reports 3 Elin Röös, Tara Garnett, Viktor Watz, Camilla Sjörs The role of dairy and plant based dairy alternatives in sustainable diets Elin Röös, Tara Garnett , Viktor Watz, Camilla Sjörs Publication: SLU Future Food Reports 3 Publisher: Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the research platform Future Food Publication year: 2018 Graphic form: Gunilla Leffler (cover) Photo: ombadesigns, Pixabay, CC0 Print: SLU Repro, Uppsala Paper: Scandia 2000 240 g (cover), Scandia 2000 130 g (insert) IBSN: 978-91-576-9604-5 Foreword Sustainable diets that are nutritionally adequate, environmentally sound, economically viable and socially and culturally acceptable are gaining increasing attention. The focus has long been on the role of meat and its association with high environmental pressures, especially greenhouse gas emissions, and its detrimental health effects at high consumption levels. Much less attention has been paid to the role of dairy products in sustainable diets. There is currently a rise in plant- based dairy alternatives, e.g. drinks, yogurt-like products, spreads, ice-cream etc. made of soy, legumes, seeds, nuts or cereals. These have potentially lower negative impacts than dairy products but different nutritional profiles, which raises concerns about their role as replacements or complements to dairy products in sustainable diets. These concerns form the background to this report. As a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Elin Röös) and director of the Food Climate Research Network (FCRN) (Tara Garnett), for some years we had spoken about a need to investigate dairy and plant-based dairy alternatives in diets more specifically and thoroughly.

  • Plant-Based Milk Alternatives
    Behind the hype: Plant-based milk alternatives Why is this an issue? Health concerns, sustainability and changing diets are some of the reasons people are choosing plant-based alternatives to cow’s milk. This rise in popularity has led to an increased range of milk alternatives becoming available. Generally, these alternatives contain less nutrients than cow’s milk. In particular, cow’s milk is an important source of calcium, which is essential for growth and development of strong bones and teeth. The nutritional content of plant-based milks is an important consideration when replacing cow’s milk in the diet, especially for young children under two-years-old, who have high nutrition needs. What are plant-based Table 1: Some Nutrients in milk alternatives? cow’s milk and plant-based Plant-based milk alternatives include legume milk alternatives (soy milk), nut (almond, cashew, coconut, macadamia) and cereal-based (rice, oat). Other ingredients can include vegetable oils, sugar, and thickening ingredients Milk type Energy Protein Calcium kJ/100ml g/100ml mg/100ml such as gums, emulsifiers and flavouring.

  • Effect of Adding Coconut Milk on the Physicochemical, Proximate, Microbial and Sensory Attributes of «Dahi»
    ─── Food Technology ─── Effect of adding coconut milk on the physicochemical, proximate, microbial and sensory attributes of «Dahi» Abdul Matin1, Nahidur Rahman1, 1 2 Tanjida Islam , Fisal Bin Haji Ahmed 1 – Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Khulshi, Chattogram, Bangladesh 2 – Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia Abstract Keywords: Introduction. Plant-based or non-dairy milk alternates are the Dahi growing trend in newer food product development. Therefore, the Coconut present study was conducted to explore the quality and potential of Cow «Dahi» prepared by cow milk and different levels of coconut milk. Milk Materials and methods. The obtained formulations, A Quality (Control), B, and C were prepared by mixing cow milk to coconut milk in three different rations (100:0, 50:50, 0:100). The proximate composition, physicochemical, sensorial, and microbial properties were determined to ascertain the quality attributes of the «Dahi» Article history: samples. Obtained data were analyzed statistically, and means were compared at 5% level of significance. Received Results and discussion. The results of the physicochemical 14.03.2020 analysis showed increasing trends in the values for pH (4.05–4.33), Received in TSS (14.05–14.90), and Sweetness Index (10.60–20.13) while revised form substituting cow milk with coconut milk. There was also a 11.06.2020 remarkable increase in the proximate values for moisture (82.75– Accepted 30.06.2020 85.20%), fat (1.57–3.06%) and ash (0.71-2.94%). The results suggested that coconut milk addition leads to a considerable increase in mineral content as well as unsaturated fatty acids that may promote health benefits.

  • Plant-Based Milk Guide Overview and Recommendations a Generation Ago, If You Avoided Milk You Didn’T Have Many Options
    Plant-Based Milk Guide Overview and Recommendations A generation ago, if you avoided milk you didn’t have many options. Perhaps you could find soymilk in a health food store if you were lucky. Today, things have changed dramatically. You can find milk-like beverages made from all sorts of plants, including nuts, seeds, and grains. In general, many plant-based milks are good alternatives to cow’s milk. Some are higher in fat, saturated fat, sugar, or sodium, however, while others can’t compare to the amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Keep these tips in mind to meet your nutrient needs while choosing plant-based milks: • Protein. Choose plant-based milks containing at least 5 g of protein per cup to help you meet your daily protein needs. If your favorite type is low in protein, choose other protein-rich foods throughout the day, such as nuts, nut butters, beans, lentils and tofu to fill in the gaps. • Bone Nutrients. Calcium and vitamin D are important for bone health. Fortunately, many plant-based milks are fortified with both. If, however, your drink of choice doesn’t provide these nutrients, choose other calcium- and vitamin D-rich foods throughout the day, such as kale, spinach, and calcium- and vitamin D-fortified juices and cereals. • Saturated Fat. You may notice coconut milk is higher in saturated fat than other plant milks. Like other foods high in this form of unhealthy fat, if you like it, simply enjoy it in moderation.

The attempts have been made to study effect of different levels of soy milk Maharashtra, India and coconut milk (25, 50, 75 and 100 %) on kid’s growth. Goat milk with 50 per cent soy milk and goat milk with 25 per cent coconut milk was found superior over rest of the treatments. BG Desai Associate Professor, Department Keywords: soy milk, coconut milk, goat milk, chemical composition of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science, College of Agriculture, Introduction Dr. Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Goat milk has benefits that it doesn’t cause inflammation. That’s a big reason why it is easier Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Maharashtra, India for people with bowel inflammation to drink goat milk, instead of cow milk. It is easier to digest and assimilate in the human body. The size of the fat globules in goat’s milk is much RG Burte smaller than those found in cow milk (Anonymous, 2017) [1].
