SIGNIFICANCE OF MILK ON HUMAN NUTRITION

• Milk is a widely consumed drink from childhood to adolescence, which is essential to the diet of several millions of people worldwide because it provides significant amounts of fat, protein, micronutrients and unique sugar lactose. Dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt contain a range of important nutrients such as protein, bioactive peptides, conjugated linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, vitamin A, D, B2, B3, B12, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, selenium and much more.
• Constituents present in milk product, play a key role in the physiological activities in human body, and act as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, antimicrobial hypo cholesterolemic and immune boosting. Most of the constituents in milk do not work in isolation, but rather interact with other constituents. Often, they are involved in more than one biological process.
• Milk mediates its protective function by two distinct ways: first by providing passive protection through the transfer of molecules such as antibodies, and secondly by regulating the development of an effective and a balanced immune system. The immune modulatory effects of milk are attributed to a wide range of milk components, including whey proteins, caseins, lipids, hormones and growth factors. A reduction in respiratory tract infections was also observed in an intervention study with children of 1–6 years of age receiving bovine colostrum that is extremely rich in IgG. In line with these findings, controlled studies in infants with milk components such as lactoferrin, milk fat globule membrane, and colostrum IgG have shown to reduce respiratory infections. In addition, milk proteins contain a host of immunoactive peptides that can be released following enzymatic hydrolysis in vitro, commercial processing or normal digestion.
• Diet plays an important role in shaping the composition of the gut microbiota (gut microbiome is comprised of various types of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses naturally occurring in humans and animals as normal microflora) thereby influencing host’s health status. Literature suggests the therapeutic and beneficial properties of ethnically fermented dairy products and associated microorganisms. The microbiota plays a fundamental role on the induction, training, and function of the host immune system. In optimal conditions, this immune system-microbiota alliance allows the induction of protective responses against pathogens and the maintenance of regulatory pathways. Furthermore, fermented milk products contain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that are able to influence a range of host immune responses (Gill and Cross, 2002).
