the sale of similar dairy products has been hitting the supermarket shelves in recent months. In packaging similar to the original, the serum it was proposed as an alternative to milk, due to the increase in the value of the drink.
According to Abras (Brazilian Association of Supermarkets)in a report to the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, among the products of the basic basket, the long-life milk it was the article with the highest percentage of trade, 71%. But after all, is whey a good substitute alternative? Can its consumption be harmful to health? How to insert it in everyday recipes?
The functional nutritionist Cris Ribas Esperança clarifies these doubts below:
Serum in milk It is bad for health?
In general it is not harmful to health and there are no contraindications to its consumption. But it is worth remembering that the serum does not replace the milk traditional, since it is only a by-product produced in the manufacture of cheese, it is the liquid that is given as leftovers from this production. And in this process, there is a very large loss of nutrients, proteins and fats compared to milk traditional.
According to Ribas, UNIFESP data shows that the serum in milk in 100 milliliters contain 0.76 grams of proteinWhile the same dosage as milk whole wheat has 3.15 grams. This shows the importance of milk in its entirety. Not to mention the fact that the lactose inside serum in milk it is much more concentrated than in milk normalwhich it can be harmful to people with intolerances or allergies severe due to consumption.
The benefits of your consumption
However, the serum it still has considerable nutritional value in its characteristics. The main advantage of its consumption, in addition to its low commercial value, is that this food can be rich in essential amino acids. Therefore, it provides an aid in diets for training and muscle mass gain.
or serum it can also help with weight loss, as it is low in fat. It is common to use it in whey protein production, often being the ingredient with the highest composition in the product.
How to enjoy it at home?
The product can in fact be used in enterbut it’s worth noting the nutritional value will not be the same as compared to milk. Perhaps, the food in question will seem dry, because the serum often it may not provide the necessary structure found in the protein that generates the “ligand”. Generally, it is more used in the food industries in the manufacture of other final products.
Anyway, whey can be added to recipes for cakes, bread, pancakes, cookies and vitamins. However, it needs special attention in its use, to prevent these foods from becoming too dry, brittle and unbound.
