Food Science and Technology QUESTION #5990
Question 1
Fortification of milk with Vitamins A and D is most important for which type of milk?
  • Whole milk
  • Skim and low-fat milk, because fat-soluble vitamins A and D are removed with the fat during separation✔️
  • Flavored milk
  • UHT milk
Correct Answer Explanation
Fat-soluble vitamins A and D are naturally associated with the fat phase of milk. When fat is removed during skimming, these vitamins are also substantially removed. US FDA requires reduced-fat milks to be fortified with Vitamin A at \(\geq 2000\;\text{IU/quart}\) and Vitamin D at \(\geq 400\;\text{IU/quart}\).
