Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metabolomics is currently an established though ever-evolving analytical platform for use in different disciplines, such as animal science, food science, and plant science. In recent years, the application of metabolomics to the field of dairy science has grown considerably, with important factors and biomarker compounds related to animal health, production, authentication, and contributors to milk technofunctional properties being proposed. However, milk metabolites can be affected by a variety of factors, including matrix effects, animal species, animal status, farming and feeding systems, thermal treatment, and type of processing, among others. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent advances related to the different factors able to affect the milk metabolomic profile, with particular emphasis on bovine milk. Thus, we strongly encourage the submission of review articles, research papers, and technical notes on this topic able to provide updated information on milk quality and traceability.
