DIETETICS FOODS Dietetics food means food to children

DIETETICS FOODS Dietetics food means food to children, old people and sick people. During the most important stages of the growt we use diet foods because it’s easily digested, easily assimilated

The main dietetics foods are: • Food made from milk • Pasta • Meat and fruit’s homogenized • protein

MODIFIED MILK Cow's milk is changed to breastfeed children obtaining “humanized milk”. The most simple method is dilution with water of cow's milk to reduce the concentration of protein to avoid intestinal disorders.

VEGETABLE MILK There are frequent cases of intolerance and that is why we use the milk plant. Some example of milk plant are: • Soy milk • Almond milk

Microbiological analysis of milk Analytical determinations that are performed on milk affect the water content, fat, protein, lactose and sucrose added.

MILK ANALYSIS • Alizarolo’s wise • Alcohol’s wise • Titratable acidity • Determination of the casein

ALIZAROLO’S WISE The milk treated with Alizarin assumes different colors depending on its degree of acidity correlated with the degree of freshness. This is a colorimetric essay quick and convenient.

STATE OF THE MILK Fresh milk COLOR Red-lilac Slightly acid milk Rosy reddish Bad milk Yellow -brown Milk from cattle with mastitis Red-dark purple

ALCOHOL’S WISE The alcohol’s wise is to verify whether the test sample is fresh, badly preserved or acid always correlated with the degree of freshness

TITRATABLE ACIDITY Titratable acidity allows to find how much lactic acid is present in the sample. With ph slightly less a 7, the milk present reaction acid due to some organic acids and inorganic free.

DETERMINATION OF THE CASEIN Determination of casein allows to find how much this protein is present in the sample of milk.

DIETETICS GLUCOSE FOODS We use cereal and legums’ flour for particular nutritional purposes or to facilitate the preparation of the same meal: • Milk flour • Flour for soups

PASTA There are pasta rich of gluten and pasta with eggs. For people intolerant to gluten has been created special pasta called special dry pasta commonly called semolina pasta

HOMOGENENIZED The homogenized are introduced into the infant diet. There are two kind of homogenized: • Meat homogenized • Fruit homogenized

MEAT HOMOGENIZED The anatomical and physiological structure of the child doesn ‘t allow a direct use of the meat due to the presence of indigestible components. Homogenized come from the crushing of the cell structures in small particles, making the food readily chewable and easily digestible.

FRUIT HOMOGENIZED The preparation of the fruit homogenized is the same of meat homogenized. The fruits at the right degree of ripeness must haven’t residues of pesticides and preservatives. They must also be supplemented with vitamin C.
