Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent research in the dairy industry focuses on various areas, such as production technologies, health-promoting substances in milk, and consumer trends. These studies contribute to improving the quality of dairy products, increasing production efficiency, and meeting the growing expectations of consumers.
The integration of knowledge from various fields, such as agricultural sciences, chemistry, engineering, economics, and psychology, allows for the development of technologies that are more ecologically, socially, and economically sustainable.
The dairy industry is paying increasing attention to sustainable production practices and animal welfare. Research on alternative feed sources and methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions related to milk production aims to reduce the carbon footprint of this industry. In addition, research on better cow breeding conditions and methods of disease prevention and stress reduction is aimed at improving animal welfare and milk quality.
Putting knowledge from various fields into practice allows you to better understand production processes such as fermentation, pasteurization, and homogenization, which, in turn, allows you to optimize these processes to achieve better results in terms of efficiency and quality. New technological solutions allow you to preserve more nutritional values and extend the shelf life of products.
The interdisciplinary approach allows for the use of various research tools and methodologies, which may result in the introduction of innovative production technologies and the development of new products adapted to changing consumer preferences and dietary and health requirements. Moreover, the growing demand for organic and local products is stimulating research into production methods in line with these trends. Consumers are increasingly willing to support local economies and communities, looking for the history of their favorite products, which allows them to understand the value, quality, and authenticity of such products.
Integrating knowledge from various fields allows for a better understanding of food safety risks and the development of effective risk management strategies that ensure that dairy products are safe. As a result, an interdisciplinary approach to the development of dairy technologies can contribute to the creation of more effective, innovative, and sustainable solutions in this field.
