Mare milk through an assortment of desserts

Cilj diplomskog rada je upoznati se s tehnologijom proizvodnje kobiljeg mlijeka, pasminskim sastavom konja, upoznati tehnologiju prerade i proizvodnje prehrambenih proizvoda od kobiljeg mlijeka te kreirati vlastiti prehrambeni proizvod. Kobilje mlijeko ima određene specifičnosti, posebice u odnosu na mlijeko drugih vrsta domaćih životinja. Bogato je vitaminima i mineralima. Ima nizak udio mliječne masti te visok udio višestruko nezasićenih masnih kiselina. Ima važna hranidbena i terapeutska svojstva, koja vrlo povoljno djeluju na zdravlje ljudi. Osim u prehrambenoj industriji ima važnu ulogu i u kozmetičkoj i farmaceutskoj industriji. Kobilje mlijeko oduvijek je bilo cijenjeno zbog svojih ljekovitih svojstava, zbog čega je bilo osobito važno u proteklim stoljećima kada farmaceutska industrija nije bila razvijena kao danas. Danas se u farmaceutskoj industriji najčešće koristi kao preventivna terapija koja se dobiva regeneriranjem kobiljeg mlijeka u prahu. Najveći dio prerade mlijeka kopitara je u kozmetičke pripravke kao što su sapuni, šamponi, balzami i losioni za tijelo, kreme, maske za lice i kupke. Osim kozmetičkih proizvoda, može se preraditi i u prehrambene proizvode (likeri, čokolade). Jako malo mlijeka kopitara se preradi u proizvode namijenjene konzumaciji, kao što je čokolada, sladoled. Razvojem suvremenog društva i povećanjem svijesti o zdravlju i prehrani, zbog svojih nutritivno vrijednih sastojaka, čokolada postaje vrijedan proizvod u kojem je identificirano više od 800 različitih sastojaka. Danas dio hladnokrvnih pasmina svoju revitalizaciju pronalazi dijelom i u proizvodnji mlijeka. Hladnokrvne kobile pogodne su za proizvodnju mlijeka zbog svoje veličine i mirnog temperamenta te redovite reprodukcije. Ekonomska dobit proizvodnje mlijeka od hladnokrvnih pasmina konja bi mogla pozitivno utjecati na trenutno stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj.The aim of the thesis is to get acquainted with the technology of mare's milk production, breed composition of horses, to learn the technology of processing and production of mare's milk products, and to create their own food product. The mare's milk has specific characteristics, especially in relation to the milk of other domestic animals. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. It has a low content of milk fat and a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It has important nutritional and therapeutic properties, which have a very beneficial effect on human health. In addition to the food industry, it has an important role in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Mare milk has always been prized for its medicinal properties, which made it especially important in the past centuries when the pharmaceutical industry was not as developed as it is today. Today, it is most commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as a preventative therapy that is obtained by regenerating mare's milk powder. Most of the equine milk processing is in cosmetic preparations such as soaps, shampoos, conditioners and body lotions, creams, face masks and baths. Besides cosmetic products, it can also be processed into food products (liqueurs, chocolates). Very little milk from equidae is processed into products intended for consumption, such as chocolate, ice cream. With the development of modern society and increasing awareness of health and nutrition, because of its nutritionally valuable ingredients, chocolate has become a valuable product in which more than 800 different ingredients have been identified. Today, some cold-blooded breeds find their revitalization partly in milk production. Cold-blooded mares are suitable for milk production because of their size and calm temperament and regular reproduction. The economic profit of milk production from cold-blooded horse breeds could have a positive impact on the current situation in the Republic of Croatia
