| dc.description.abstract | This study compared the nutritional content of cow's milk and plant-based milk alternatives (almond, soy, and oat milk) available in supermarkets in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The analysis focused on macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), as well as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, fiber content, and their contributions to Daily Values (DV). The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess significant differences. Significant differences were found in macronutrient content. Cow's milk had higher protein and fat levels, while oat milk had the highest carbohydrate content. Soy milk provided a balanced nutritional profile. These findings led to the rejection of the null hypothesis for macronutrients. For vitamin D, significant differences were observed, with cow's milk containing higher levels than plant-based milks. However, calcium and vitamin B12 content showed no significant differences, resulting in partial rejection of the null hypothesis. Fiber content showed no significant differences across milk types. Furthermore, significant differences observed in the percentage of the daily value for calcium and vitamin D3 among different milk types, while no significant difference was found for vitamin B12, leading to the partial rejection of the null hypothesis. This study highlights important nutritional differences between cow's milk and plant-based alternatives, offering consumers in Kota Bharu valuable insights for making informed dietary decisions. | |
