Plant Milk
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_milkPlant Milk has been consumed for centuries in various cultures, both as a regular drink (such as the Spanish horchata) and as a substitute for dairy milk. The most popular varieties are soy milk, almond milk, rice milk and coconut milk. The protein content varies. It contains no lactose or cholesterol, and is usually sold with added calcium and vitamins, especially B12.
There are several reasons for consuming plant milk: ethical (animal welfare) reasons, environmental reasons, health reasons, including lactose intolerance, milk allergy and PKU; veganism and ovo-vegetarianism; religious reasons, such as by some Christian denominations during Lent; and simple taste preference.
In the United States soy milk was long the most popular non-dairy milk, but starting around 2010 almond milk began to increase in popularity, and in 2013 it surpassed soy milk as the most popular variety.[1] Other popular milks in the US are rice and coconut. In Europe soy and oat milk are popular. There is also hemp milk, cashew milk, hazelnut milk, and milk from peas and lupin.[2]
Plant milks are used to make ice cream, plant cream, vegan cheese and yogurt (for example, soy yogurt).
Varieties
The most popular plant milks are almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk and rice milk. Hemp milk and peanut milk are also available. It can also be made from:
Grains: barley, oat, spelt
Legumes: lupin, pea
Nuts: cashew, hazelnut, walnut
Seeds: chia seed, flaxseed, quinoa, sesame seed, sunflower seed, hemp seed

Production method for plant-based milk powder
The invention relates to the production method for plant-based milk powder. According to the method, grain processed byproducts or whole grain seeds serve as raw materials. The method comprises the following steps: performing pretreatment on edible parts of plants, removing stench from the plants, depolymerizing plant globulin subunits, performing physical fracture on long peptide chains of plant globulin, binding small protein molecules with non-polar groups, performing ionization treatment on protein, and emulsifying to obtain the plant-based milk powder. By the method, an out-dated grain processing mode is changed; the utilization rate of grains is greatly improved; a whole ecological industry chain is created; moreover, the product, namely plant-based milk or plant-based milk powder, produced by the method is similar to animal milk.

Vegetable based milk substitute
In preparing a milk substitute, non-woody plant material, e.g cabbage leaves, is macerated, with water if necessary, and the resultant pulp filtered, preferably after agitation with decolourizing carbon, to produce a filtrate from which the protein is precipitated, e.g. by heating to 55 DEG to 90 DEG C., and decanted or centrifuged out to yield a slurry which is converted to a colloidal dispersion, e.g. using a colloid mill. The colloidal dispersion, which may also be prepared by vacuum evaporating the filtrate at or below 30 DEG C., is then blended with an aqueous emulsion of a vegetable fat, e.g. maize oil, containing 2 to 5% by weight, of fat, a small amount of soya lecithin as emulsifier, and, if desired 3 to 5% of unrefined sugar, to produce an emulsion, preferably of droplet size 5 to 20 m , to which further additions, e.g. of vitamins and/or mineral supplements, may be made. The milk-substitute emulsion may be dried, condensed or converted to cheese or yoghurt. A modification of the process comprises adding live yeast to the precipitated and separated protein slurry, autolysing, e.g. at 50 DEG to 55 DEG C. for 24 hours, separating the liquid (now containing hydrolysed protein) from the resultant mixture, adding to this liquid an amount of separated protein substantially equal to the hydrolysed protein it contains, and then blending the resultant suspension with an aqueous emulsion of a vegetable fat.
