Abstract
China is one of the largest producers and consumers of dairy products globally. In this editorial, Dr Lei Yuan, Yangzhou University, China, has compiled a selection of articles by Chinese researchers discussing recent studies on testing dairy products for residues and microbiological safety; new dairy product development in China; the future development of the dairy industry in China; and the control of foodborne pathogens in dairy products.
Starting January 2025, the International Journal of Dairy Technology will introduce:
Starting in 2025, the Society and Wiley will appoint several Honorary Associate Editors. The details of the selection process will be given on the journal home page, the Society's home page and on LinkedIn in December 2024. Those appointed will work with the Editor, Deputy Editor and Associate Editors to further develop the journal.
The ‘Investigation of the rehydration characteristics of dairy and infant formula powders using focused beam reflectance measurement and electrical resistance tomography’ is the Editor's Choice Article for the November 2024 issue of the International Journal of Dairy Technology. The article authored by Xu and colleagues is an international collaboration with scientists from Ireland and the United States. The use of dairy powders either as an ingredient in formulations or as a finished product consumed by consumers can be limited by poor powder rehydration characteristics. Measuring the rehydration kinetics of dairy and nondairy powders such as skim milk powder and infant formula can be difficult. The authors investigated the potential of focussed beam reflectance measurement and electrical resistance tomography as online process analytical technologies (PAT) for monitoring powder rehydration. Skim milk powder and three different infant formula samples including one plant-based protein formula were studied. The authors reported good agreement between results from both PAT tools and reference laboratory measurements. Focussed beam reflectance measurement was assessed as having the potential to characterise dairy and infant formula powder rehydration as an in-line production process tool.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Dairy Technology ranks highly among the leading dairy journals published worldwide, and is the flagship of the Society. As indicated in its title, the journal is international in scope.
Published quarterly, International Journal of Dairy Technology contains original papers and review articles covering topics that are at the interface between fundamental dairy research and the practical technological challenges facing the modern dairy industry worldwide. Topics addressed span the full range of dairy technologies, the production of diverse dairy products across the world and the development of dairy ingredients for food applications.
