New Insights into the Milk 2.0
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The link between raw milk and dairy products is crucial. A range of primary production factors associated with raw milk quality and processing influence the resulting dairy product. This Special Issue aims to cover studies on all factors influencing the properties of milk and dairy products quality, i.e., composition, functionality, nutrition, microbiology, processing, quality, safety, and consumer acceptability. Despite recent advancements, there is a continued pursuit to produce novel knowledge and understanding regarding the factors associated with milk and dairy products quality.
The purpose of this Special Issue is, therefore, to present high-quality scientific studies related to advancements in knowledge concerning raw milk and its suitability in producing dairy products. Research articles, case studies, communications, and original reviews will be considered for this Special Issue. Topics could include but are not limited to wider aspects covering milk and resulting product quality, as influenced by primary production factors. Additionally, studies elucidating the relationship between milk and dairy product quality are of great interest.
