Processing of Innovative A2 milk/milkshakes for distribution

通常的假设是，那些在食用乳制品后出现消化系统症状的人是乳糖不耐症患者，他们应该改变自己的饮食习惯，坚持低乳制品或不含乳制品的饮食。然而，情况并非总是如此。牛奶过敏是由乳制品中的蛋白质引起的，因此A1蛋白不耐症经常被误诊为乳糖不耐症，因为症状相似。然而，关键的区别是牛奶过敏（A1蛋白不耐症）通常出现在生命的第一年，而乳糖不耐症通常出现得更晚。（A2牛奶营养，2021年）Parlour Annalong已经发现了这一点，同时也是奶农的主人在过去的8年里只饲养含有A2蛋白质的奶牛。因此，客厅从农场购买的牛奶只含有A2蛋白，因此适合那些有A1不耐症的人。该项目旨在筹集资金，购买必要的设备，将从农场购买的牛奶加工成可饮用的牛奶/奶昔，适合分发到商店，也适合在The Parlour的咖啡馆销售。这使得当地社区和游客在访问Parlours咖啡馆时可以利用这一点，如果他们对A1蛋白不耐受。除此之外，Parlour计划分销的杂货店和报摊将在北爱尔兰以多样化的方式传播产品，因此产品的覆盖范围将不仅仅局限于该地区的咖啡馆和周边商店。

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.
