Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Advances in Dairy Technology and Engineering” focuses on the latest innovations and research breakthroughs that are shaping the future of the dairy industry. This collection brings together cutting-edge studies on a variety of topics, including but not limited to the following: new technologies in dairy processing, sustainable processing technologies, and advanced processing methodologies for improving milk quality and safety. This issue highlights advances in emerging and gentle processing technologies for dairy products, from fresh milk to dairy-based ingredients, with an emphasis on sustainability and functionality.
Key contributions explore sustainable solutions for revaluating dairy streams, improving the quality and functionality of dairy products using technology, energy, and water efficiency during dairy processing operations. This issue addresses the challenges and opportunities presented by these advancements, providing a comprehensive overview of how technology and engineering are driving the dairy industry’s evolution. Furthermore, in-process analytical technologies (PATs) for the processing of dairy products are prioritised to optimise production and quality.
This Special Issue is an essential resource for researchers, industry professionals, and engineers dedicated to advancing dairy technology. It offers valuable insights into the future of dairy production, emphasising the need for continued innovation to meet global demands and sustainability goals.
Original works covering the latest research and new developments are encouraged, but review papers and comparative studies are also welcome.
