Study Notes
Dairy Products
- Yogurt has been part of the human diet for centuries
- Yogurt's name varies across the globe
- Yogurt is believed to come from a Turkish word meaning "to thicken, coagulate, or curdle"
- Most modern yogurt is fermented milk, acidified with specific bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles)
- Historical use of yogurt's health benefits dates back to 6000 BC in Indian Ayurvedic texts
- Yogurt consumption varies greatly from country to country, but is generally low
- Example: only 6% of the population in the US and Brazil consume yogurt daily
- Yogurt provides significant protein, calcium and probiotics
Ice Cream
- Ice cream is a sweetened frozen food, typically eaten as a snack or dessert
- It's made from dairy milk or cream, flavored with sweetener (sugar or alternative) and spices (cocoa, vanilla)
- Colorings and stabilizers are also added
- The mixture is stirred to incorporate air, then cooled below freezing to prevent ice crystals
- This creates a smooth, semi-solid foam, solid at low temperature, malleable as temperature increases
- The term "ice cream" can vary by country; other terms like "frozen custard," "frozen yogurt," "sorbet", "gelato" are used to distinguish varieties
- In some countries (like the US), "ice cream" is specifically regulated by the amount of cream in the product. Products that don't meet the specific criteria are often termed "frozen dairy desserts"
Plant-Based Milk Products
- Alternatives to dairy milk exist, like goat's milk, sheep's milk, soy milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, and almond milk. Also tofu
- These plant-based options are for people who are lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy protein
Ice Cream Accessories/Variations
- Ice cream can be served with additional desserts (e.g., apple pie) or as an ingredient in other products (e.g., ice cream floats, sundaes, milkshakes, ice cream cakes, baked items)
