Pasteurized milk is considered optimal in terms of the content of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. In addition, it is not too fatty, so even people on a diet are allowed.
Unlike whole cow's milk, pasteurized milk is not as fatty. In addition, it is free from many pathogenic microbes, but not from their spores. Therefore, this drink can be stored for a maximum of a day in an open container and up to three weeks in a closed one.
Pasteurized milk does not drop fat like whole milk does. Consequently, it cannot turn sour, but only grows old. This feature misleads consumers who continue to consume pasteurized milk after the expiration date. This is fraught with infection with E. coli spores, which are activated and begin to multiply a day after opening the package.
Milk is pasteurized at a temperature of 65 ° C, which preserves vitamins and minerals.
Pasteurized milk has a fat content of 2.5% to 4.5%. Most often on the shelves you can find milk with 3.2% fat content. Using his example, it is easiest to study the calorie content and composition of the product.
The standard 100 g of pasteurized milk accounts for only 60 kilocalories, of which fats are 28.8 g. In addition, the same amount of the product contains 2.9 g of proteins, 3, 2 fats, 4, 7 carbohydrates, 0, 1 organic acids, 88, 4 water, 2 g of saturated acids, 9 mg of cholesterol, 4, 7 monosaccharides and 0.7 g of ash.
Pasteurized milk drinks have a rich vitamin and mineral composition. 100 ml contains: 0.02 mg of vitamin A, 0.1 mg of niacin, 0.01 of beta-carotene, 0.04 mg of thiamine (vitamin B1), 0.15 mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2), 0.4 mg pantothenic and 5 mcg of folic acids (vitamins B5 and B9), 0.05 mg of pyridoxine (vitamin B6), 0.4 mcg of vitamin B12. In addition, pasteurized milk of 3.2% fat contains vitamins C and D, biotin and choline.
A standard glass of pasteurized milk (250 ml) contains 150 Kcal, and a tablespoon and a teaspoon - 10, 8 and 3 Kcal, respectively.
Pasteurized milk is a rich source of calcium (120 mg), potassium (146 mg), chlorine (110 mg) and phosphorus (90 mg). It also contains magnesium, sodium and sulfur.
Of the trace elements, pasteurized milk contains the most aluminum (50 μg per 100 g of product), fluorine (20 μg per 100 g of product), copper (12 μg per 100 g of product) and strontium (17 μg per 100 g of product). And the presence of iron, zinc, iodine, manganese, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, cobalt and tin in its composition further enriches the composition of this drink.
The calorie content of pasteurized milk may vary slightly depending on the percentage of its fat content. For example, a drink with a fat content of 2.5% contains 53 kilocalories per 100 ml of product. Foods with a fat content of 3, 6, 4, 0, 4, 5 percent contain 63, 66, 8 and 71 Kcal, respectively. The discrepancy between these indicators does not matter for the average person, but it is important for people on a strict diet.
Pasteurized milk is indicated for both children and adults, including pregnant women. Naturally, in the absence of lactose allergy. To get the most benefit from milk, it is worth slightly warming it up before drinking, and drinking it separately from food.
