What's the use of a coffee partner?

Coffee companion, also known as cream, is a new product with hydrogenated vegetable oil and casein as the main raw materials. This product plays a special role in food production and processing, and it is also a kind of modern food. According to the different needs of users, low-fat, medium-fat and high-fat products can be produced according to its standards in the production process. (human health) recent studies have shown that the hydrogenation of vegetable oils is actually the process of changing the unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oils into saturated or semi-saturated states, in which trans fatty acids are produced. it can increase low-density lipoprotein in human blood, decrease high-density lipoprotein, induce vascular hardening, and increase the risk of heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents. Recently, in revising the composition of the food pyramid, the United States has made it clear that attention should be paid to the issue of trans fatty acids, requiring manufacturers to indicate the content of trans fatty acids in their products. Therefore, it is not completely harmless and should not eat more.

Coffee used to be often drunk by people in western countries. They are used to sitting in a coffee shop between meals in the afternoon, which can not only refresh themselves, but also improve work efficiency after a simple rest. Coffee spread to China a long time ago and is deeply loved and favored by Chinese young people. Students like to drink a cup of coffee after class, office workers stay up late to drink a cup of coffee, drinking coffee alone is very bitter.

Many people can't accept the bitterness of coffee. People in western countries also have the habit of drinking milk. They mix milk and coffee together. It tastes really good. But milk is not easy to get, so people hydrogenate vegetable oil into solid plant fat powder, which is both easy to pack and easy to preserve, called coffee companion.

Can I drink coffee alone?

Can coffee partners drink alone? many people are concerned about this. Can drink alone, add some sugar, some like diluted milk powder, there is no particularly attractive taste, and it is vegetable fat powder, not very suitable for people to lose weight. Coffee partners can drink not only with coffee, but also with black tea. Black tea plus companion is milk tea.

At present, the main ingredient of the familiar "coffee companion" (commonly known as "cream") is fat powder. Plant fat powder is the general name of vegetable oil powder, which has a wide variety, different functions and a wide range of applications. Its production history can be traced back to the 1950s. Now it has been widely used in baked food ingredients, cold food ingredients, candy ingredients, solid beverage ingredients.

Vegetable fat powder (cream) is used as a coffee companion in coffee. Its main function is to improve the taste, provide balanced nutrition and give the product a "milky feeling".

What on earth is fat plant powder? The ingredient says: the first ingredient is "glucose syrup", a slightly sweet mixture that thickens the solution after hydrolysis of starch. The second ingredient is "hydrogenated vegetable oil", a semi-solid oil formed by artificial catalytic hydrogenation of soybean oil or rapeseed oil. The third ingredient is sodium caseinate, followed by three types of food additives: stabilizers, emulsifiers and anticaking agents.

After artificial catalytic hydrogenation, most of the natural unsaturated fatty acids in vegetable oil become saturated fatty acids, and the unsaturated fatty acids may lose their natural cis structure and produce unnatural "trans fatty acids".

The nutrition community is convinced that trans fatty acids are more dangerous than saturated fatty acids, which only raise blood lipids but do not lower beneficial high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Some new studies have initially shown that trans fatty acids may also increase the incidence of breast cancer and diabetes, and may affect the growth and development of children and the health of the nervous system. So it's better to drink less.
