Abstract

Uslijed novih spoznaja o utjecaju prehrane na zdravlje, podizanja svijesti o zagađenju okoliša, učestalijih odabira veganskih i sličnih oblika prehrane te povećanog broja osoba sa laktoza intolerancijom i alergijama na mlijeko dolazi do velikog porasta potražnje za mliječnim alternativama. Na tržištu se pojavljuju novi proizvodi, a jedni od njih su biljni napitci koji predstavljaju tekuće homogenizirane pripravke nastale ekstrakcijom hranjivih sastojaka iz biljnih sirovina u vodi s ciljem imitacije izgleda i konzistencije mlijeka. Cilj ovog završnog rada bio je pregledom dostupne literature istražiti nutritivni značaj biljnih napitaka, odnosno istražiti njihov utjecaj na zdravlje, te u kojoj mjeri mogu zamijeniti kravlje mlijeko. Biljni napitci su izvor različitih nutrijenata i mogu imati povoljan utjecaj na zdravlje zahvaljujući mikronutrijentima, fitokemikalijama i vlaknima koja sadrže, no u usporedbi s mlijekom, biljni napitci predstavljaju slabiji izvor masti, proteina i energije. Bez obzira na određene sličnosti, biljni napitci nisu potpuna zamjena kravljem mlijeku.

Abstract (english)

New knowledge about the impact of nutrition on health, raising awareness of environmental pollution, the increasingly frequent choice of vegan and similar forms of diet and the increased number of people with lactose intolerance and milk allergies, increased demand for milk alternatives. New products appeared on the market and one of them are plant-based beverages which are homogenized fluids created by extracting nutrients from plant raw materials in water with the aim of imitating the appearance and consistency of cow's milk. The main purpose of this paper was to investigate the nutritional value of plant-based beverages, their impact on health and to what extent they can replace cow's milk. They are a source of various nutrients and can have a beneficial effect on health due to micronutrients, phytochemicals and fiber they contain, but compared to milk, they contain less fat, protein and energy. Regardless of certain similarities, plant-based beverages cannot completely replace cow's milk.
