What is the problem with milk powder having too much foam? Is milk powder having too much foam a good thing or a bad thing?

It is best to drink milk powder within one month after opening it, otherwise the nutrients in the milk powder may change, which may cause physical discomfort to the baby. So what is the reason for too much foam in milk powder? Is it good or bad to have too much foam in milk powder?

Why is there too much foam in milk powder?

Under normal circumstances, milk powder contains rich protein. The stronger the protein activity, the easier it is to produce bubbles when brewing. In addition, there are a small amount of inorganic salts and acid ions in milk powder, which are also easy to produce bubbles after stirring. In addition, the bubbles when brewing milk powder are not only due to the milk powder itself, but also related to external factors such as water temperature, bottle texture, shape, smoothness, and stirring intensity. If the water temperature is too high, the bottle is not smooth enough, the shape is not regular enough, the stirring intensity is too strong, and the direction is not equal, foam will be produced.

Is it good or bad to have too much foam in milk powder?

The amount of foam in the prepared milk powder is not the main criterion for evaluating the quality of milk powder. The amount of foam in the milk powder is related to the level of nutrients such as protein in the milk powder on the one hand, and is also directly related to the brewing method on the other hand. In addition, whether a defoaming agent is added to the milk powder is also the main reason that affects the foaming of the milk powder. Generally speaking, the higher the whey protein content in the milk powder, the easier it is to foam. When preparing milk powder, if the water temperature is too high, it will also increase the chance of milk powder foaming. If you add milk powder first and then water during the brewing process, the brewing order is not appropriate, or the stirring direction is inconsistent, it will also increase the chance of milk powder foaming. Foaming of prepared milk powder is almost an inevitable phenomenon.

Can I drink milk powder after it has been stored for a year?

The milk powder packaging clearly states that milk powder cannot be given to children one month after opening. Because milk powder easily absorbs moisture and deteriorates, for safety reasons, it should not be given to children after it has been opened for more than one month. After opening the milk powder bag, you should adapt to it as soon as possible. If it is canned milk powder, the lid should be sealed, and if it is bagged milk powder, it should be sealed with a sealer.

Is milk powder better or goat milk powder better?

The fat globules of goat milk are small and uniform, which is conducive to the degradation of lactose. It is indeed easier for babies to absorb than cow milk. However, mothers must not think that goat milk powder will not burden the baby's stomach, because goat milk contains a certain amount of lactose and lactase that are difficult to digest. Some babies will have diarrhea and vomiting after drinking goat milk powder. Therefore, we cannot simply conclude that goat milk powder is better or cow milk powder is better. We should choose which milk powder to drink based on the individual's nutrient deficiencies.
