Milk: Nature's Unique Nutritional Package

ABSTRACT Plant‐based beverages that attempt to mimic milk are increasingly popular with consumers, but there are profound differences in nutritional composition and microstructure compared to milk. A structural nutrition approach is needed to understand the effect on digestibility of microstructures, bioaccessibility and bioavailability of components, and ultimately on nutritional delivery and human health.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Plant‐based beverages that attempt to mimic milk are increasingly popular with consumers, but there are profound differences in nutritional composition and microstructure compared to milk. A structural nutrition approach is needed to understand the effect on digestibility of microstructures, bioaccessibility and bioavailability of components, and ultimately on nutritional delivery and human health.
