Processing of Innovative A2 milk/milkshakes for distribution

通常的假设是，在食用乳制品后出现消化症状的人是乳糖不耐受者，并被告知改变饮食，以遵守低乳制品或不含乳制品的饮食。然而，情况并不总是如此。牛奶过敏是由乳制品中的蛋白质引起的，因此，由于症状相似，A1蛋白不耐受经常被误诊为乳糖不耐受。然而，关键的区别是牛奶过敏(A1蛋白不耐受)通常出现在生命的第一年，而乳糖不耐受通常出现在更晚的时间。(A2牛奶营养，2021年)Parlour Annlong已经确认了这一点，同时也是一名奶农的所有者在过去8年里饲养了只含有A2蛋白质的奶牛。因此，帕洛尔从农场购买的牛奶只含有A2蛋白质，因此适合那些A1不耐受的人。该项目的目的是获得资金，以购买必要的设备，将从牧场购买的牛奶加工成可饮用的牛奶/奶昔，以便分发给商店以及在咖啡厅的咖啡店销售。这使得当地社区和游客在光顾客厅咖啡馆时，如果他们对A1蛋白质不耐受，就可以利用这一点。除此之外，Parlour计划向杂货店和报社分发的产品将在北爱尔兰各地多样化地传播，因此产品覆盖范围将不仅限于该地区的咖啡馆和周围商店。

The assumption that is commonly made is that someone who experiences digestive symptoms after consuming dairy products they are lactose intolerant and informed to alter their eating to abide with a low-dairy or dairy-free diet. However, this is not always the case. Milk allergies are caused by the proteins in the dairy products and as such A1 Protein intolerance can often be misdiagnosed as lactose intolerance as the symptoms are similar. However, the key difference is that milk allergies (A1 protein intolerance) usually appear within the first year of life while lactose intolerance typically appears much later. (A2 Milk Nutrition, 2021)The Parlour Annalong have identified this and the owner who is also a dairy farmer has bred cows only containing the A2 protein for the past 8 years. As a result of this, the milk that the Parlour purchases from the farm contains only A2 protein and is therefore suitable for those that have an A1 intolerance. The project is to source funding to purchase the equipment necessary to process the milk purchased from the farm into drinkable milk/milkshakes suitable for distribution to shops as well as for sales in The Parlour's café. This enables the local community and visitors to avail of this if they are A1 protein intolerant while they visit the Parlours café. As well as this, the grocery shops and newsagents that the Parlour plan to distribute to will spread the product diversely across Northern Ireland and as such the product reach will not just be limited to the café and surrounding shops in that area.
