Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The dairy industry provides different by-products that can be exploited and converted into high-value ingredients to be used in foodstuff, infant formula, medicines, and pet food. For example, whey proteins of bovine milk are commercially available for athletes in several forms today, and market demand is increasing. In dairy, other good examples of reutilization and valorization are milk lactose, widely used as excipient, and bovine colostrum for the pharmaceutical and the cosmetic industry. The present Special Issue aims to open the discussion on the role of some dairy byproducts as a source of precious bioactive compounds for human beings and companion animals, with particular focus on milk whey and colostrum.
