Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dairy products are nutrient-dense foods, providing energy, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional compounds, easily absorbed and supporting daily requirements. Additionally, several studies posit that regular consumption of dairy foods is beneficial for the reduction of cholesterol, controlling blood pressure, and preventing diseases. The manifested consumer concerns regarding food safety, impact of the consumption of dairy products on health, reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs), and the implementation of sustainable production systems have been the driving factors of recent advances and innovations in this sector. This Special Issue will focus on innovations applied to the dairy sector, including the development of new products, new packaging, shelf-life extension, new analytical methods, the use of novel ingredients, and the transfer of emerging technologies to this sector. All types of articles, such as original research studies, consumer behavior research, and comprehensive reviews on the current state of the art or emerging technologies, are welcome.
Additional topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advances in packaging and market solutions;
- Nutritional properties of traditional dairy products;
- Sustainable processing;
- Development of clean-label products;
- Application of AI/ML to the dairy sector.
