How to choose a lactobacillus drink? What is the difference between drinking yogurt with lactobacill

At present, there are a wide variety of drinks on the market, and lactic acid bacteria drinks have been recognized and loved by everyone for their unique taste and magical health care functions. So what should you pay attention to when buying lactic acid bacteria drinks?

Strictly distinguish between fermented and blended milk beverages.

This can be judged from the ingredient list, the ingredient list of lactic acid bacteria drinks will indicate the presence of lactobacillus, if there are no lactobacilli in the ingredient list or indicate that there is lactic acid, it is not a lactic acid bacteria drink.

Lactic acid bacteria drinks are fermented products, while lactic acid drinks and yogurt drinks are blended products. Fermented lactic acid bacteria beverage uses high-quality milk to be fermented by lactic acid bacteria, which will produce a large number of beneficial lactic acid bacteria and beneficial metabolites of lactic acid bacteria to the human body, and has the biological functions of lactic acid bacteria and fermentation products, which is an ideal milk drink for health. Products that have not undergone fermentation do not contain lactic acid bacteria and metabolites of lactic acid bacteria, and are only milk beverages or lactic acid beverages. Blended milk drinks are mostly made of water, milk, sugar, citric acid or lactic acid, etc., the process is simple, and some products even use hydrolyzed protein instead of milk, the nutritional value and health care function of this kind of milk drink are far lower than that of fermented lactic acid bacteria drinks.

There are two types of lactic acid bacteria drinks: active and inactive.

This can be distinguished by the description on the product label whether the product is active or inactive. Active lactic acid bacteria drinks are not sterilized at high temperatures, and generally need to be refrigerated under 2 8 conditions, and the storage conditions of the products should be paid attention to when buying active lactic acid bacteria drinks, and see whether the refrigeration conditions in the shopping mall are consistent with the storage conditions indicated on the product label. Inactive lactic acid beverages usually state on the label that they are fermented and sterilized at high temperatures, without refrigeration, and can be stored at room temperature.

Pay attention to the product packaging and production date.

When buying lactic acid bacteria drinks, it should be noted that once the packaging is abnormal, such as the beverage is clumped and has a peculiar smell, it means that the drink has deteriorated and can no longer be consumed. With the extension of time, the activity of the active lactic acid bacteria drink will gradually decrease, and the lactic acid bacteria will die for too long, and the nutritional value will also decrease. Although inactive lactic acid beverages do not have the problem of dead live bacteria, they should also pay attention to the production date, especially whether they are within the expiration date.

The number of live bacteria in lactic acid bacteria is high, containing 30 billion beneficial bacteria per 100 ml, and it is as if you feel your intestines moving when you drink it.

To drink lactic acid bacteria, you must buy refrigerated, room temperature does not contain live bacteria, only low temperature refrigerated bacteria have live bacteria. The taste of all lactic acid bacteria is very good, and the live bacteria ** in Denmark, you can clearly feel the comfort of the stomach after drinking.

When buying lactic acid bacteria, it is necessary to choose refrigerated lactic acid bacteria, so that the bacteria can survive under refrigerated conditions. I often drink whole lactic acid bacteria, which is refrigerated at low temperature throughout the whole process, and I like the taste very much.

<> "What is the difference between lactic acid bacteria drink and yogurt?"

The lactic acid bacteria drink we usually see is a kind of milk-containing beverage, which refers to a drink made of milk or dairy products as raw materials, and one or more of the ingredients such as white sugar, sweetener, acidulant, fruit juice, tea and other ingredients are added to the emulsion obtained by lactic acid bacteria as raw materials.

According to whether it has undergone sterilization treatment, it is divided into sterilized (non-viable) type and unsterilized (viable) type lactic acid bacteria drinks, which have a sweet and sour taste, and are widely loved by consumers in the market. In addition, there are certain differences in the functions of lactic acid bacteria dead bacteria and live bacteria, and it is generally believed that the beneficial effect of live bacteria products is stronger, but there are also studies in the news that the dead bacteria of some lactic acid bacteria still have a certain prebiotic effect.

China stipulates that lactic acid bacteria beverages must be clearly marked on the product label for bactericidal (non-viable bacteria) type and unsterilized (viable bacteria) type, and consumers can distinguish between them by the logo when purchasing products. The storage and transportation process of live bacteria lactic acid bacteria beverage must be carried out in the cold chain to ensure that the temperature of the product hits the mu under the cold chain condition of 2-8 °C. Leaving the cold chain will lead to a decrease in the number of viable lactic acid bacteria and affect the taste of the product.

Consumers should put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible after purchase. There is also a product on the market for the preparation of milk-containing beverages, which is different from lactic acid bacteria beverages, which are not fermented by lactic acid bacteria, but directly use milk or dairy products as raw materials to add water, white sugar and/or sweeteners, acidulants and other ingredients to make a mixture, which can be distinguished by the identification on the packaging when consumers buy.

Lactic acid bacteria drinks and yogurt are both fermented dairy products, the first difference between the two is the difference in protein content, lactic acid bacteria drinks are generally in between, while the protein content of yogurt products is much higher: the second difference is that the number of lactic acid bacteria in most active lactic acid bacteria drinks is generally higher than that of yogurt. Drinking yogurt can obtain more milk protein and milk calcium, lower lactose, milk-derived vitamins and a certain amount of lactic acid bacteria; Drinking live lactic acid bacteria drinks is mainly to obtain more lactic acid bacteria.

Consumers can choose the corresponding products according to their needs.

1 The nutrition facts list is printed on the packaging of each beverage, in which the carbohydrate content per 100 milliliters of the beverage can almost be understood as the sugar content per 100 milliliters of the drink. Although it is said that the active lactic acid bacteria drink must be added with some sugar as a nourishment to maintain the vitality of the live bacteria, the active lactic acid bacteria drinks sold on the market now, in order to satisfy the taste buds of consumers, will add a lot of sugar to the drink, so that consumers will drink unforgettable; Those active lactic acid bacteria drinks that claim to be low in sugar have less added sugar, but if you drink more because of this, it is easy to lead to excessive sugar intake. Drinking a bottle of this drink, the intake of sugar is not a lot, and it is as high as a gram.

2 There is a class of lactic acid bacteria drinks marked with the words "0 fat" in a prominent position on the packaging, which makes consumers mistakenly think that this kind of drink helps **, but in fact, its carbohydrate content is not low, up to grams. Whether or not a lactobacillus drink is good or not depends primarily on calories, not fat content. This kind of drink is generally high in sugar, not low in calories, and drinking two large bottles is almost equivalent to the calories of a dinner, which is not conducive to **.

3. At present, the commonly used strains of lactic acid bacteria drinks include Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus paracasei, etc. In order to highlight the characteristics of the product, some manufacturers have a variety of strain names, which are very confusing, such as "B Yichang bacteria", "B + 100 probiotics" and so on. For these fancy strains, not only the common people can't understand them, but even experts may not know what they mean.

There are also products that claim to contain multiple lactic acid bacteria, but if they contain multiple lactic acid bacteria, the amount of each type is uneven, and it may be difficult to distinguish which one plays the dominant role. In addition, the specific drinking effect also depends on the symbiosis between the strains, so more strains does not mean that the product is better.

4. How many live bacteria are contained in it is the focus of the promotion of many active lactic acid bacteria drinks, but you should know that if the product contains the same kind of lactic acid bacteria, the high number of live bacteria is of course better than the low one, but if the lactic acid bacteria are of different types, it may not be meaningful to just compare the number of live bacteria, because the number of different types of lactic acid bacteria to affect the human body is different. Generally speaking, the number of viable bacteria can only be guaranteed to be sufficient if it reaches 107 or even more than 108. Therefore, when we buy, we must choose the production banquet bridge products marked with the number of viable bacteria above 107.

5. The active lactic acid bacteria drink is relatively "squeamish", if the refrigeration conditions cannot be reached in the production and marketing process, the active lactic acid bacteria will soon die, and the number of live bacteria will decline rapidly, and its health care value will be greatly reduced. Generally speaking, the living environment of active bacteria should be at a temperature of 2 6, if it is placed in a room temperature environment, or in a refrigerator with poor refrigeration function, it will not meet the storage conditions.

6 Now there is a so-called bactericidal lactic acid bacteria drink on the market, the product characteristics of this beverage, the packaging and the active lactic acid bacteria beverage are very similar, in order to prolong the shelf life, the sterilized lactic acid bacteria beverage has been sterilized before leaving the factory, and the lactic acid bacteria contained in it have been killed, and it can be stored at room temperature. Although there are still microbial metabolites in such products, there are too few relevant studies, and the health effects are not necessarily so obvious.

7. Although the active lactic acid bacteria drink has certain health care value, such as regulating the intestinal flora, the sugar content is too high, and it does not have as many effects as advertised by the merchants, it is still a sweet drink and should be drunk as little as possible. It should be controlled to about 100 ml per day.

The key to active lactic acid bacteria drinks is to look at the word "live". Once the product goes off the production line, the active lactic acid bacteria will gradually decay, low temperature refrigeration can effectively delay its death rate, but can not completely prevent it, the longer the place, the smaller the number of viable bacteria. Therefore, try to choose products that are stored in the freezer, and the production date is as close as possible.

If you see an active lactic acid bacteria drink at room temperature in the supermarket, it is best not to buy it.

It is worth reminding that in terms of protein, calcium and other nutrients, lactic acid bacteria drinks cannot be compared with milk and yogurt, and cannot replace them. Consumers, especially if children drink too much, it is easy to cause obesity, dental caries and other problems. Diabetics, people who need to control their weight, and people who are taking antibiotics are advised not to drink it.

Lactic acid bacteria beverage is an emulsion prepared by cultivating and fermenting lactic acid bacteria with fresh milk or dairy products as raw materials, and then adding water and sugar to prepare the beverage. The protein content in the finished product is not less than 7g l, which is called lactic acid bacteria drink.

There are two types of lactobacillus beverages on the market: active lactobacillus beverages and inactive lactobacillus beverages. One is an active lactic acid bacteria drink, referred to as active milk, which contains live lactic acid bacteria in the lactic acid bacteria drink.

It is required that the number of live lactic acid bacteria per milliliter of active milk should not be less than 1 million. When people drink this drink, lactic acid bacteria will follow the digestive tract to the large intestine, because of its activity, lactic acid bacteria in the large intestine of the human body multiply rapidly, and at the same time produce acid, thereby effectively inhibiting the reproduction and survival of spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria are harmless to the human body. This beverage requires storage and sale under 2 10 and the shelf life of active milk in sealed packaging is 15 days.

The other is inactive lactic acid bacteria drinks, which are commonly known as lactic acid bacteria drinks, which are generally inactive, and the lactic acid bacteria in them have been killed during the heating and aseptic treatment stage in the production process. This drink can be stored and sold at room temperature, so there is no active lactic acid bacteria. When buying this kind of beverage, we consumers must see the product label and ingredients, distinguish between lactic acid drinks, inactive lactic acid bacteria drinks and active milk, and figure out their nutritional value.

No. The protein and calcium content of live lactic acid bacteria drinks is only one-third of that of ordinary yogurt, and the sugar content is super high, so it is better to drink ordinary yogurt directly.

Live lactic acid bacteria drinks sold in supermarkets are not the same thing as yogurt chains, and consumers must distinguish between them when purchasing. The so-called drink means that there is more water and less milk in it. Their main benefit is that they provide a large number of live lactic acid bacteria, and because the number of live bacteria in lactic acid bacteria drinks is the key to their value, they must be refrigerated throughout the process.
