Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Processing and Analysis of Dairy Products”, aims to highlight recent advances, challenges, and innovations in dairy technology, quality assessment, and product functionality. It features original research articles and reviews on modern processing techniques, emphasizing novel thermal and non-thermal treatments, fermentation, and formulation strategies designed to improve nutritional and sensory qualities. Special emphasis is given to analytical approaches for monitoring composition, structure, and microbial activity, as well as predictive and modeling tools for process optimization. The Issue also explores sustainability in dairy production, valorization of by-products, and the development of functional and probiotic dairy foods with proven health benefits. By integrating technological, biochemical and analytical perspectives, it seeks to promote knowledge exchange between researchers and industry professionals, supporting the continuous innovation and safety of dairy products in the global food market.
