Coffee partner and Coffee

The main ingredient of coffee companion is plant fat powder, also known as cream, and the main ingredients are hydrogenated vegetable oil, glucose syrup and casein. The reason why plant fat powder often "goes hand in hand" with coffee is that it can enhance the quick solubility and brewability of coffee, improve the flavor of coffee, give it a "milky feeling" and make it more delicious. The grease powder used with coffee sometimes has a more romantic name-coffee companion, which further reflects the "importance" of grease powder to coffee.

There are many kinds of coffee on the market, according to the survey, most instant coffee contains plant fat powder, such as three-in-one, two-in-one, white coffee, latte, mocha coffee, caramel coffee, cappuccino and so on.

By adding more selection to the list of ingredients, we can also find a few "zero plant fat powder" instant coffee in a large number of coffee with vegetable powder.

Advantages and disadvantages of coffee companionship

Although plant fat powder is valuable to improve the taste of coffee, hydrogenated vegetable oil, one of the main components of plant fat powder, is not "friendly" to the body. This should start with hydrogenated vegetable oil, one of the main components of plant fat. Generally speaking, most vegetable oils are liquid, which is mainly due to the high degree of unsaturation of vegetable oils. In order to change vegetable oil from liquid to solid, so as to improve the stability and processing performance of vegetable oil, vegetable oil hydrogenation technology arises at the historic moment. Hydrogenated vegetable oil has the advantages of good stability, convenient transportation and strong processing performance, so it is loved by the food processing industry. However, in recent years, it has been found that not all unsaturated fatty acids can be "obediently" tamed into saturated fatty acids in the process of hydrogenation of vegetable oils, and there are always some missing fish to produce trans fatty acids in this process.

At present, it has been found that trans fatty acids are the "worst" fatty acids. Excessive intake can reduce the "good cholesterol" in the body and increase the "bad cholesterol" that causes vascular infarction in the body. The risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension and coronary heart disease is higher, while the risk of heart disease is also greatly increased. Other studies have shown that trans fatty acids metabolize more slowly than normal fatty acids, are more likely to cause obesity, and may interfere with the metabolism of other essential fatty acids. It may even reduce insulin sensitivity and induce the occurrence of type 2 diabetes.

After reading it, I know that the coffee partner is so harmful. Although it can improve the taste of the coffee and become more mellow and delicious, you can't ignore the physical burden brought by the coffee partner. Long-term drinking will only lead to disease. People who like to add coffee partners should get rid of this bad habit as soon as possible.
