Introduce milk tablets

The raw materials of milk tablets are mainly fresh milk or milk powder, with or without the following raw materials: including whey protein powder, desalted whey powder, lactose, cream and other milk-derived raw materials. Include, for example, non-dairy creamer, vegetable oil, glucose syrup, white sugar, fruit powder, grain powder, etc. Including food additives, nutrients and other raw materials.

The flaky dairy products are made by mixing, tabletting and packaging, or the raw materials needed for producing milk tablets are mixed, homogenized, concentrated and spray-dried to make milk tablet base powder, and then mixed with other auxiliary materials, tabletting and packaging.

Regarding the slogan "a piece of milk is equivalent to a glass of fresh milk", experts pointed out that this formulation is unscientific from the perspective of absorption. The nutrients contained in fresh milk are easy to absorb, and the nutrient content of milk tablets may be equivalent to that of fresh milk, but the absorption is definitely not as good as that of fresh milk.

Moreover, due to high temperature treatment, many nutrients in milk are destroyed and whey protein is completely changed. However, there is no scientific basis for saying that "the retention time in the stomach is longer, and the absorption rate of nutrients is higher than that of liquid milk" and "the retention time of liquid milk in the digestive tract is short, and the digestive utilization rate is limited".
