Butter-fat-milk
Each fat globule is surrounded by a membrane consisting of
phospholipids and proteins; these emulsifiers keep the
individual globules from joining together into noticeable grains
of butterfat and also protect the globules from the fatdigesting activity of enzymes found in the fluid portion of the
milk. In unhomogenized cow's milk, the fat globules average
about four micrometers across.
The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E,
and K are found within the milk
fat portion of the milk.
Protein
The largest : casein protein micelles: aggregates of several
thousand protein molecules, bonded with the help of
nanometer-scale particles of calcium phosphate. it makes up
around 80% of the protein in milk.
Kappa-casein molecules: it have a negative electrical charge
and therefore repel each other, keeping the micelles separated
under normal conditions and in a stable colloidal suspension in
the water-based surrounding fluid.
Other protein are much more water-soluble and do not form
larger structures. Because these proteins remain suspended in
the whey left behind when the caseins coagulate into curds,
they are collectively known as whey proteins. Whey proteins
make up approximately 20% of the protein in milk. Lactoglobulin
is the most common whey protein by a large margin.
Carbohydrate
In nonruminants, glucose is absorbed through the intestine and
is the major source of metabolic energy and short carbon
chains.
In ruminants, fermentation of dietary carbohydrate in the rumen
results in formation of volatile fatty acids (VFA's): Especially,
acetate, propionate, and butyrate.
Vitamin
Vitamins help the body use carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
Milk contains the water soluble vitamins thiamin (vitamin B1),
riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin (vitamin B3), pantothenic acid
(vitamin B5), vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cobalamin),
vitamin C, and folate.
Milk contains the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The
content level of fat soluble vitamins in dairy products depends
on the fat content of the product.
Mineral
Minerals have many roles in the body including enzyme
functions, bone formation, water balance maintenance, and
oxygen transport
Milk is a good source of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
potassium, selenium, and zinc. Many minerals in milk are
associated together in the form of salts, such as calcium
phosphate.
In milk approximately 67% of the calcium, 35% of the
magnesium, and 44% of the phosphate are salts bound within
the casein micelle and the remainder are soluble in the serum
phase.
Milk contains small amounts of copper, iron, manganese, and
sodium.
