Long Life vs Fresh Milk

[Pooky]

Sparked from another thread, I'm interested in the nutrition/health differences between the two.

From some searching I have found that the process is mainly in the heating of the milk, about double the temperature of fresh milk for around 2 seconds or so.

My question is are there additional additives to long life milk that make it worse for you nutrition wise. It seems that possibly there is a small loss in nutrients (eg b12) but not considerable.

I prefer the taste of long life milk.

Someone in one of the threads said you could freeze fresh milk. Is this a good idea?

 

[ice_cubes]

I buy whichever is cheaper

Obviously depends on what you're using it for.

How would nutritional benefits differ?

Ultra Heat Treated (UHT) or long life milk contains all the nutritional goodness that you would expect from any Australian dairy product and contains no additives or preservatives. Like fresh milk, long life milk is a rich source of over ten essential nutrients including:

calcium
phosphorus
potassium
riboflavin
potassium
vitamins A and B12
magnesium
carbohydrate
protein and,
zinc.

Long life or UHT milk, is exactly the same as normal fresh milk - just run through a pasteuriser for a longer period of time at higher temp.

Particulary don't care specifically for either, but UHT milk does have a nicer taste to it.

Anyone notice how regular clover 2l's now have ridiculous expiry dates, sometimes 2 weeks from date of purchase.

YES! noticed that and it also stuck in my mind. I think Clover has the best of both worlds, price of fresh milk with longer life.

It's like R2 more for a 2l versus other brands but for milk that basically never goes off (with my normal usage) it's totally worth it.

Try FarmGate Dairy, it's creamy and delicious.

I just wanted to get this out... you guys could probably figure this out from all my milk replies. I love milk

Do you get milk on your face as well? How about around your lips? Do you like that?

The good use of milk.

Same here. I buy 2 x 1lt at a time and I freeze one. That lasts me a week in summer. In winter I use a liter every second day.
