What goes with Milk?
Milk is a natural oil-in-water emulsion composed of approximately 87% water, 3–5% fat, 3–4% protein and 4.5–5% lactose together with minerals, vitamins and bioactive compounds. Around 80% of the proteins are caseins organised into casein micelles, while the remaining proteins are whey proteins, primarily β-lactoglobulin and α-lactalbumin. Fat is dispersed as microscopic globules surrounded by phospholipid membranes that contribute to emulsion stability.
