Milk and eggs in ice cream have high nutritional value. Ice cream is a kind of dairy products and also a frozen drink. Its main ingredients are water, milk, eggs, sweeteners, oil and other food additives. Among them, "milk" can be fresh milk, milk powder, condensed milk, thin cream and whey powder; The "egg" can be fresh egg, frozen yolk, yolk powder and whole egg powder. The good taste of ice cream mainly comes from phospholipids and protein, the aroma (fatty fragrance) mainly comes from milk fat, the sweetness comes from added sugar, and the fruity and vanilla flavors come from essence. Pigment plays an important role in the color modulation of ice cream.
High-grade ice milk contains the most fat according to the proportion of ingredients, and ice cream is divided into two categories: ice milk and ice milk. Ice milk is a high-grade ice cream, and the milk fat is not less than 6%. The highest fat content is "senior ice milk", followed by "ice milk" and then "iced milk". Generally speaking, the more cream, the more upscale and delicious ice cream. The fat in milk ice will be less, only 3% or even lower, which is equivalent to ordinary milk. Sugar and fat become obstacles to enjoying delicious food. The sugar content of all kinds of ice cream is similar, about 15%. In other words, the sugar content of ice cream is very high, which is higher than that of ordinary drinks. Besides sugar, ice cream also has a nutritional problem, that is, fat.
The most harmful fatty acid in ice cream is not saturated fatty acid, but a hydrogenated vegetable oil, commonly known as "plant cream", and the academic term is "trans fatty acid".
Trans fatty acids are far more harmful to human heart than any animal oil, which can reduce "good cholesterol lipoprotein" and increase "bad cholesterol lipoprotein" in blood. It doesn't matter if you eat less ice cream, but if you can't live without ice cream, you should warn yourself.
There are some unexpected health ingredients in ice cream, mainly soluble dietary fiber (to prevent constipation). In addition, in order to improve the physical state of ice cream, lecithin, sucrose ester and other good substances are often added.
It seems that as long as the amount of ice cream is well controlled, it is still a better food in general. Eating150g of top-grade ice cream can consume about 23g of sugar and10g of fat, which is still within the range of healthy diet and will not cause much health problems. It should be noted that if you eat ice cream, you should pay more attention to the intake of other desserts and oily foods.
I hope my friends can eat whatever they like, and at the same time, we should grasp the problem of quantity. A balanced diet is the most important.
