Nutritional value of dairy:

Fat

           Milk and milk products also contain fat. Cow’s milk contains fat that is in the form of glycerides. The fat in cow’s milk is a poor source of essential fatty acids.

The fat content of milk varies:

  • Whole milk contains 3.9 g fat per 100 ml,
  • Semi Skimmed  provides 1.7 g fat per 100 ml
  • Skim milk provides 0.2 g fat per 100 ml
  • 1% milk, a blend of skimmed and semi-skimmed milk, has recently become available. It contains 1 g fat or less per 100 ml.

Carbohydrates

                The main carbohydrate in milk is a disaccharide called lactose. It is made up of two simple sugars – glucose and galactose – and is sweeter than sucrose (found in cane sugar). Lactose supports the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and the synthesis of some B complex vitamins in the small intestine. In the human body, an intestional enzyme called lactase digests lactose. Some people are unable to produce enough lactase, inhibiting lactose digestion.

Vitamins

               Milk and milk products are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium. Milk has significant amounts of vitamin A and B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin and nicotinic acid, but is a poor source of vitamin C and vitamin E. It also contains vitamin B12.

Minerals

              The important minerals in milk are calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. It is, however, a poor source of iron. Calcium is a mineral that the body needs for numerous functions, including building and maintaining bones and teeth, blood clotting, the transmission of nerve impulses, and regulation of the heart‘s rhythm.
