From the ingredients, many materials used to make these cereal, let's discuss one by one function. As a sweetener, there are sugar, glucose syrup, fructose syrup, and natural sweetener sorbitol. As an antioxidant that helps preserve these products, it is vegetable fat (contains antioxidant BHA), vegetable fat is also used as oil to mencampukan ingredients mixed in perfect order and make sense of Cloud 9 more tasteful.
Whey powder is made from whey protein, it is a mixture of globular proteins isolated from whey. Whey protein is commonly marketed as a dietary supplement, and various health claims have been Attributed to it in the alternative medicine community. Although whey proteins are responsible for some milk allergies, the major allergens in milk are the caseins. Whey powder in Cloud 9 serves as a contributor to the protein.
Tapioca starch, rice, wheat flour, corn, malt extract, and corn flake in Cloud 9 serves as a source of carbohydrate. Chocolate added in Cloud 9 is carob powder, cocoa powder, and nature identical chocolate flavor. Carob Powder is an alternative to cocoa powder from the Mediterranean. Unlike the brown, Carob is rich in fiber and contains calcium. Carob is lower in fat and calories are lower than chocolate, and does not contain caffeine. Carob can also be used as a sweetener, because it has a sweet taste. In addition, Carob also contains: Vitamins (A, B, B2, B3, and D), Magnesium, Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Copper, and other essential minerals. Carob is also used to treat coughs and diarrhea.
To strengthen the flavor of chocolate, then added nature identical chocolate flavor. Humectant serves as a humectant glycerine has the effect of keeping the Cloud 9 moist. Wheat bran is the outer part or hard skin and is produced from the milling process. When wheat bran is removed from the grain during the process of grinding the flour into a loss of some nutrients. Epidermis grains are high in fiber and essential fatty acids and also contains some starch, protein, vitamins and minerals. Wheat bran is added in Cloud 9 to add nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals.
Salt is used to provide a savory flavor and adds minerals. Modified starch is a starch pregelatinisation consisting of a combination of intact starch granules burst and the starch granules that form larger granules, so it has good water absorption. The properties of modified starch that is capable of forming a gel, having adhesion, increase blooming and improve crispness snack, as well as adding supple so as to facilitate the cutting process.
Soya lecithin emulsifier and mono-diglyceride emulsifier is used as an emulsifier. Emulsifiers is a substance to help maintain the stability of emulsions of oil and water. Generally the emulsifier is an organic compound which has two groups, both polar and nonpolar so that both substances can be mixed. Nonpolar group will bind oil emulsifier (oil particles surrounded) while the water will be strongly bound by polar groups such emulsifiers. Ionized polar parts will then become negatively charged, this causes the oil to also become negatively charged. Oil particles will then be repealed so that the two substances initially insoluble subsequently becomes stable. Usefulness emulsifiers in this product is as an emulsifier dough, so that average blends, make the dough more stable, not easily broken and soften the dough. And it does not take too long to stir the dough so that it perfectly flat.
Calcium carbonate stabilizer in this product works as a stabilizer and a source of the mineral calcium. Stabilizers are substances added to food to maintain its texture. Stabilizer provides consistency of products in various conditions encountered during the processing, storage or use. The stabilizer is added into the food and the ingredients do not mix very well, so as to prevent them to be separated again, like on Cloud 9 this.
Artificial flavor milk serves as the taste of milk and artificial means used the chemicals and not from natural ingredients. Vanillin powder serves to give a typical fragrant aroma of vanilla. All the ingredients were added to an edible material and secure, so do not be afraid to consume the Cloud 9.
But not too much to consume Cloud 9, as shown in the packaging information with a warning that excessive consumption can cause a laxative effect. Laxatives are foods or medicines taken to help overcome constipation by making dirt moves easily in the intestine. If eating Cloud 9 too much can cause frequent bowel movements due to the dirt moves easily in the intestine.
When I ate Cloud 9, it tastes very good, chocolate and savory taste once felt in the mouth. There is no annoying aftertaste on the tongue and throat after eating Cloud 9. This snack is suitable to be eaten while waiting mealtime. But unfortunately no information nutrition fact on the packaging, so I do not know how many calories in this snack.
