For any woman, the most important thing in life is "health, figure and skin". In order to meet this group of people, some enterprises have specially developed female milk powder according to women's own characteristics and needs, which can be eaten by adult women of different ages. However, consumers can't distinguish and choose the advantages and disadvantages of such products for a while.
Based on this, in order to let consumers clearly understand the purchase and consumption, the Dairy House specially selected two kinds of ladies' milk powder, Yili and Mengniu. From the dimensions of brand background, milk source traceability, nutritional components, ingredients, word of mouth and price, the two kinds of female milk powder were compared and evaluated horizontally.
Pre-test description:
This evaluation mainly refers to GB 19644—20 10 National Standard Milk Powder for Food Safety, which is currently being implemented in China.
This evaluation was initiated by the Milk Powder Evaluation and Research Center of Dairy Home. All expenses of purchased products and evaluation are borne by Dairy House at its own expense, and are not sponsored by any brand merchants. This appraisal is a non-profit activity with no commercial purpose. All links adhere to the principle of objectivity, fairness and seeking truth from facts, and do not ignore the advantages of any product, and at the same time do not hide the shortcomings of any product.
Objectivity, professionalism and reference value are the professional ethics of dairy houses, aiming at providing valuable decision-making reference for consumers. If you have any comments or suggestions on our evaluation report, please leave a comment and point out that if it is meaningful, we will take it seriously.
I. Background check
The following table is the enterprise background of two kinds of lady milk powder.
Second, the source of milk
Milk source is the source of milk powder quality and the first pass to determine the quality. There is a saying that good cows produce good milk. According to the professional research of Dairy House, in recent years, most of the milk powder that has been recognized by more consumers and sold well depends on the excellent construction of the whole industrial chain. From pasture to factory, from factory to market, a solid whole industrial chain can ensure more stable production and excellent quality.
Based on this, the evaluation report of Dairy House takes the milk source traceability as the breakthrough point of the product itself, aiming at helping consumers to test the quality of the product from the source.
Summary:
● The milk sources and producing areas of Yili and Mengniu are in Inner Mongolia, located in the golden milk source belt, and the quality of milk sources is guaranteed.
● Yili's milk base adopts raw milk, which can retain the active nutrition in milk to the maximum extent and has good freshness.
● Mengniu's milk base adopts whole milk powder and skim milk powder, commonly known as "big bag powder". The second high-temperature sterilization of raw milk caused the original active nutrition of milk base to be seriously destroyed, and the product was not "fresh".
Third, the study of ingredients.
In addition to raw milk, ladies' milk powder also adds various ingredients and accessories, which are the main sources of various formulas and nutrients. Out of concern for women's nutrition and health, the evaluation report of Dairy House objectively points out the components and functions of each product, hoping to help you.
1, nutritional supplement
Nutritional supplement is an auxiliary means to increase the content of amino acids, trace elements, vitamins and minerals needed by human body in milk powder. However, some enterprises will add some nutritional supplements to meet the standards because some indicators of milk are not up to standard. For example, whey protein powder is often added because protein can't meet the national standards; If the milk itself is not mellow enough, condensed milk and thin cream will also be added.
① Milk mineral salt
It is made from whey by removing protein, lactose and other ingredients. Milk mineral salt is a kind of "new resource food", which contains more minerals, mainly calcium and phosphorus. It can be used as food fortifier and nutritional supplement, but it is forbidden to be added to infant food. Because the baby's kidney development is not yet complete, if you take too much calcium and phosphorus, it will cause a kidney burden to your baby. So it will be very common in adult milk powder.
② Anhydrous cream
According to the national standard GB 19646-20 10 "National Standard for Food Safety": cream without water and cream without water refer to products with milk and/or cream or unfermented cream as raw materials, with or without food additives and nutritional fortifiers, and the fat content after processing is not lower than 99.8%. The function of anhydrous cream in milk powder is mainly to improve the taste of milk powder and make it more fragrant. At the same time, anhydrous cream can adjust the proportion of oil and fat, so that the fat solubility can be further improved.
③ vitamin a
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, which can keep eyes adapted to dark light, so vitamin A is good for eyesight. Vitamin A can improve cellular immune function, promote immune cells to produce antibodies, promote hemoglobin production, increase iron intake in food, and promote growth and development.
④ vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, which mainly promotes the absorption and deposition of calcium and phosphorus in the intestine and is used to treat rickets and osteomalacia.
⑤ Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant function, which is necessary for the normal growth and reproduction of animals. Vitamin E plays an extensive role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, tumors, diabetes and other complications, central nervous system diseases, motor system diseases, skin diseases and so on.
⑥ folic acid
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. Folic acid, as one of the essential vitamins for cell growth and reproduction, participates in the metabolism of genetic material and protein and improves immunity. Lack will affect the normal physiological activities of the human body. Many literatures reported that folic acid deficiency is directly related to neural tube malformation, megaloblastic anemia, cleft lip and palate, depression, tumor and other diseases.
All landowners vitamin c
Vitamin C, also known as vitamin C, helps to synthesize collagen, which plays a very important role in the development and repair of human cells and gums, and can also promote bone development, make bones and teeth stronger and improve human immunity. Vitamin C has antioxidant effect, which can reduce the damage of free radicals to the skin. Helps to keep skin and mucous membrane healthy and whiten.
8 calcium carbonate
Calcium carbonate is a calcium agent, which can increase the calcium content in milk powder. Although calcium carbonate is insoluble in water, it can be dissolved in the stomach due to the action of gastric acid, and its absorption rate is much higher than other calcium agents.
Pet-name ruby ferrous sulfate
Ferrous sulfate is an iron nutritional fortifier, which can increase the iron content in milk powder, thus achieving the effect of iron supplementation.
Attending zinc sulfate
Zinc sulfate is a zinc nutritional fortifier, which can increase the content of zinc in milk powder, thus achieving the effect of zinc supplementation.
edible vegetable oil
Adding vegetable oil to milk powder is mainly to adjust the fat content and obtain more unsaturated fat, which is beneficial to human digestion and absorption.
L-carnitine tartrate
L-carnitine tartrate is a food additive synthesized from L-carnitine and tartaric acid.
Summary:
● Yili adds 10 kinds of nutritional supplements to increase vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed by the human body, especially in supplementing calcium and iron.
Mengniu has added 1 1 nutritional supplements, which are mainly used to increase the contents of vitamins and minerals, maintain normal metabolism of human body and promote the absorption of calcium.
2. sugar
Sugar in this evaluation is not just white sugar in our popular understanding. Sugar is an important organic compound widely distributed in nature. Sucrose, starch in grains, cellulose in plants and glucose in human blood are all sugars.
① Lactose
Lactose is a carbohydrate. Lactose, which can be decomposed into α-lactose and β-lactose, can provide energy for growth and is the driving force for the development and activities of organs, nerves, limbs and muscles in the body. The development of brain cells and the health of the whole nervous system need a lot of lactose. There are enough lactase in the digestive tract to decompose lactose, which can decompose, digest, absorb and utilize lactose well. Lactose can promote the reproduction and growth of lactic acid bacteria in the baby's intestine and protect the stomach. Lactose can also promote calcium absorption in the process of calcium metabolism.
② Solid corn syrup
Corn syrup is a maltose-based syrup made from high-quality corn starch by various enzymes hydrolysis. Because it is a colorless, transparent, clear and viscous liquid with mild and pure taste, malt flavor and low sweetness, it can play a thickening role in milk powder.
③ Fructose
Fructose is a monosaccharide, and its sweetness is 1.8 times that of sucrose, which is one of the highest among all natural sugars. Fructose also has a good sweet synergistic effect and can be mixed with other sweeteners. This synergistic mechanism is more prominent in the mixed use of fructose and other high-sweetness chemical synthetic sweeteners, white sugar. On the one hand, it can greatly improve the sweetness of sweetener, on the other hand, it can reduce or eliminate the bad aftertaste of saccharin sodium or protein sugar. However, fructose cannot be used in infant milk powder.
④ Fructooligosaccharides
Fructooligosaccharides are also called fructooligosaccharides or sucrose trisaccharides. Fructooligosaccharides are contained in many fruits and vegetables that are usually eaten. Fructooligosaccharides have definite health care function and excellent double quality of food ingredients. It has excellent physiological functions such as low calorific value, no dental caries, promoting the proliferation of Bifidobacterium, lowering blood sugar, improving blood lipid and promoting the absorption of trace elements.
⑤ xylooligosaccharide
Xylo-oligosaccharides, also known as xylo-oligosaccharides, have unique advantages compared with soybean oligosaccharides, fructo-oligosaccharides and isomaltooligosaccharides, and can selectively promote the proliferation activity of intestinal bifidobacteria. Its bifidus factor function is 10-20 times that of other polymeric sugars.
Summary:
● Yili added two kinds of sugar. For women, the less sugar you add, the better. Compared with Mengniu products, Yili is healthier and less likely to gain weight.
● Mengniu added five kinds of sugar, which is not in line with the current trend of zero addition, especially for women with strict body management, and their resistance to sugar is very strong.
Fourth, the nutrients.
For a can of milk powder, besides the milk source and nutrients, it is also one of the important factors to measure the quality of the product.
1, protein
Protein is an important part of all cells and tissues in the human body, and all important parts of the body need protein's participation. Protein helps to speed up physical recovery, improve spirit and mood, resist pathogenic bacteria and reduce the risk of heart disease.
At present, China's national standard "GB19644-2010 National Standard Milk Powder for Food Safety" stipulates that the content of protein is (%)≥ 16.5%.
Summary:
● Two kinds of ladies' milk powder meet the national standards.
Protein content of Yili is 7% lower than that of Mengniu.
For women, taking enough high-quality protein can maintain the balance of hormones (especially estrogen and progesterone), improve women's skin and enhance bone development. Compared with sugar and fat, protein is not easy to convert into heat energy or fat to accumulate in the body, and 30% of it will be consumed due to the increase of body temperature. So women who have a slimming plan can eat more protein.
2. Fat
The lipids in milk are mainly triglycerides, and a small amount of phospholipids and cholesterol. Fatty acids in milk fat are complex, with oleic acid accounting for 30%, linoleic acid and linolenic acid accounting for 5.3% and 2. 1% respectively, and the content of short-chain fatty acids (such as butyric acid, caproic acid and octanoic acid) is high, about 9%, which is the reason why milk fat is delicious and digestible.
At present, China's national standard "GB19644-2010 National Standard Milk Powder for Food Safety" does not specify the fat content.
According to GB 28050-201/General Rules for Nutrition Labeling in prepackaged foods, the fat content must be ≤3g/ 100g before it can be declared as low-fat milk powder.
Summary:
● These two types of ladies' milk powder belong to formula milk powder, and there is no requirement for fat content in the national standard.
● These two kinds of ladies' milk powder are not low-fat milk powder.
The fat content of these two kinds of ladies' milk powder is not much different, and the fat content of Yili is only lower than that of Mengniu 1%.
● For women, eating too much fat will cause endocrine and metabolic disorders in the body, and it will also cause obesity, which will not only affect their own beauty, but also affect their health.
Note: Fat content is not directly related to the quality of milk powder, and consumers are only for reference.
3. Calcium
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, 99% of which exists in bones and teeth, forming the scaffold of the human body; 1% exists in tissues and body fluids and participates in a series of physiological functions such as blood coagulation, nerve impulse transmission and hormone secretion. It is an important nutrient for human body.
At present, China's national standard "GB19644-2010 national standard milk powder for food safety" does not stipulate the calcium content.
According to the stipulation of "mineral (sodium-free)" content claim method in Appendix C of National Food Safety Standard-Rules for the Adoption of Nutrition Labels in prepackaged foods (GB28050-20 1 1), "Gao" can be used for every 100g≥30%. According to the standard of nutrient reference values on food labels in China (NRV), the calcium content per 100g reaches or exceeds 240 mg (800 mg-30% = 240 mg), which can be called "high calcium". (See regulations for details. )
Summary:
● These two types of ladies' milk powder belong to formula milk powder, and there is no requirement for calcium content in national standards.
● These two kinds of ladies' milk powder meet the "high calcium" standard.
The calcium content of Yili is higher than that of Mengniu 18%.
For women, calcium can not only strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis, but also relieve menstrual syndrome and prevent hypertension and intestinal cancer.
4. Iron
Iron is one of the essential trace elements in human body, which has hematopoietic function, participates in the synthesis of blood protein, cytochrome and various enzymes, and promotes growth.
At present, China's national standard "GB19644-2010 National Standard Milk Powder for Food Safety" does not clearly specify the iron content.
According to the stipulation of "mineral (sodium-free)" content claim method in Appendix C of National Food Safety Standard-Rules for the Adoption of Nutrition Labels in prepackaged foods (GB28050-20 1 1), "Gao" can be used for every 100g≥30%. According to the standard of nutrient reference values (NRV), if the iron content reaches or exceeds100g (15mg-30%) = 4.5mg), it can be called "high-speed rail". (See regulations for details. )
Summary:
● These two kinds of ladies' milk powder belong to formula milk powder, and there is no requirement for iron content in national standards.
● These two kinds of ladies' milk powder meet the "high-speed rail" standard.
● The iron content of Yili is about 22% higher than that of Mengniu.
● Women's demand for iron is higher than that of men, which helps to promote the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and maintain vitality and color, especially for girls who are in physiological period and suffering from anemia, and need iron supplementation.
5. L-carnitine
Studies have shown that L-carnitine can play a better role in accelerating fat burning through proper exercise.
At present, China's national standard "GB19644-2010 national standard milk powder for food safety" does not explicitly require the content of L-carnitine.
Summary:
In terms of L-carnitine, Yili did not add it, but Mengniu did, and the L-carnitine content per 100g product was 30mg.
6.probiotics
Probiotics are microorganisms that can bring some form of health benefits to the host. They can be found in different types of food and play a very important role in regulating the functions of the intestine and digestive system by maintaining the balance of intestinal flora.
Probiotics is a general term that refers to living microorganisms beneficial to human body. Probiotics are a kind of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host by changing the flora composition of a certain part of the host through colonization in the human body. Probiotics can promote nutrient absorption and maintain intestinal health by regulating the immune function of host mucosa and system, or by regulating the balance of intestinal flora, thus producing health effects.
Summary:
● Yili added two probiotics, and Mengniu added 1 probiotic. Yili's probiotic content is generally higher than Mengniu's, which is more conducive to women's intestinal regulation.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) price ranking
For most consumers, when choosing to buy milk powder, they should not only pay attention to the quality of milk powder, but also pay attention to the price of milk powder. It should be the common wish of all consumers in the world to spend the least money and buy the best milk powder.
Since its establishment, Dairy House is to help consumers in China and even the whole world choose dairy products with better quality and more reasonable prices. Through our objective and professional evaluation and comparison, it aims to provide more consumers with valuable, objective and professional decision-making reference.
Because the product specifications are different, "gram unit price" is an index to measure the price of each product. Next, we counted the price and gram unit price of each product:
