This homeostatic balance is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues in any living organism. Different cells have different purposes, red blood cells for example transport oxygen around our body, while neural cells can send signals to and from our brain to ensure movement, and skin

Dessa har bra näringsvärde och skulle kunna ersätta en del av fettet i en fet produkt. Då skulle till exempel vispgrädde kunna bli lite nyttigare. Vispgrädde är en populär produkt med ett brett användningsområde. Dess viktigaste egenskap är att kunna bli vispad och bilda ett sSkånemejerier has a shortage of cream and by producing a product with low amounts of fat, the shortage can be decreased. One way is to replace the fat with microparticulated whey proteins (MWP). This can be done by using a thermal treatment followed by a mechanical treatment obtained with a high-pressure homogeniser.
