    Lactic acid bacteria, a group of microorganisms that can ferment sugars into lactic acid, are widely used in the production of yogurt products. Different lactic acid bacteria exhibit different fermentation characteristics, which not only alter the physicochemical properties of yogurt but also have a significant impact on its nutritional value. This paper reviews the relationship between yoghurt products and microbial metabolism with a special focus on the role and influence of microorganisms in yoghurt making. The production of yogurt relies on the fermentation of specific microorganisms, such as lactic acid bacteria, which not only convert lactose to lactic acid, change the pH and texture of yogurt, but also synthesize a range of bioactive substances, such as vitamins, thereby having a positive impact on the health of consumers. This paper summarizes recent advances in understanding the fermentation mechanism of yoghurt, revealing the contribution of microbial diversity to product characteristics. In addition, this paper also discusses the health benefits of microbial metabolites in yogurt, including improving intestinal health and enhancing immunity. It is hoped that this review will provide a scientific basis and technical guidance for the research and development of yogurt products.

    Probiotics have been extensively researched for their health advantages, but their poor stability and viability prevent them from being used in foods and medicine on a larger scale. Compared with probiotics, postbiotics have the advantages of higher safety and stability in its existing form, which avoids the limitation of probiotics. In 2021, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics defined postbiotics as preparation of inanimate microorganisms and/or their components that confers a health benefit on the host including bacterial components and metabolites, such as cell-free supernatant, cell lysate, extracellular polysaccharide, peptidoglycan, short-chain fatty acids, and organic acids. Postbiotic components exhibit varying beneficial effects on the host, such as regulating immunity and lipid metabolism, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and antibacterial activities, and on product processing as an antibacterial, stabilizing and emulsifying agent. This paper provides an overview of the methods for separating, preparing and identifying postbiotics. It also summarizes the potential functional characteristics of probiotics, their processing characteristics in dairy products and their potential application value. This review provides a theoretical basis for the application of postbiotics as good raw materials in the medical and food fields.

    As the core component of dairy products, milk proteins possess rich nutritional value and a variety of bioactive functions. There are complex interactions (covalent bonding, non-covalent bonding, etc.) between active molecules (such as polyphenols, polysaccharides and vitamins) and milk proteins. These interactions not only affect the structure and functional properties of milk proteins (such as emulsifying properties, solubility, foaming properties, and gelling properties), but also may have significant impacts on food processing and preservation, as well as the nutritional value and functionality of final products. This review summarizes the interaction mechanisms between milk proteins and several types of active molecules and their effects on functional properties. It is of great significance for a systematic understanding of the binding between milk proteins and active molecules and provides a theoretical basis for in-depth research and industrial production of dairy products.

    Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) with a diameter of 30–150 nm. They are widely involved in intercellular communication and disease diagnosis, and can serve as drug delivery carriers for targeted disease treatment. Due to the lack of sufficient sources and methods to obtain exosomes, their therapeutic application as drug carriers is limited. Milk contains abundant exosomes. Multiple studies have shown that milk-derived exosomes play a crucial role in preventing and treating intestinal diseases. This article reviews the extraction and identification methods of milk-derived exosomes reported in the literature. It also discusses the role of milk-derived exosomes in regulating intestinal physiological functions by protecting the intestinal barrier, alleviating intestinal inflammation, regulating the intestinal microbiota, and promoting intestinal cell proliferation. Milk-derived exosomes have various advantages such as no adverse immune reactions or inflammatory reactions. Understanding the regulatory mechanism of milk-derived exosomes on intestinal physiological functions can help further study their role in preventing and treating intestinal diseases.

    Most current studies on Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis are focused on its application in bovine milk, but few studies have been conducted on its application in soymilk. The fermentation characteristics of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis in soymilk were analyzed by metabolomics and sensory evaluation in the present study. The results showed that Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strains DYNDL21-2, DYNDL1-2 and FJNDD18M8 showed good sucrose metabolism capacity, growth and acid production ability. The abundance of hexanal and various heterocyclic compounds such as furan in fermented soymilk was significantly down-regulated by DYNDL21-2 and FJNDD18M8, which effectively reduced the intensity of beany odor. Fermentation with FJNDD18M8 significantly up-regulated the abundance of acetaldehyde, acetoin and 2,3-butanedione in soymilk, enhancing the milky aroma and creamy flavor and improving the overall flavor. In conclusion, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis has excellent fermentation characteristics and strong metabolic capacity during soymilk fermentation, but there are some differences among strains.

    The volatile flavor substances of 5 representative Mongolian cheese samples collected from different regions of Inner Mongolia were determined by headspace purge and trap (PT) coupled with triple quadrupole gas chromatography (QqQ-GC), and a flavor intensity evaluation model was constructed based on principal component analysis (PCA). The results showed that a total of 86 volatile substances were identified in Mongolian cheese, among which 24 were the main volatile substances. The flavor intensity evaluation model (F = 0.353 51F1 + 0.280 46F2 + 0.198 46F3 + 0.167 56F4) showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the first four principal components was 100.000%, which included ethyl caprylate, n-hexanol, ethyl decanoate, n-decanoic acid, acetic acid, and acetaldehyde, ect. They could reflect the original data accurately. In addition, the sensory evaluation results of the 5 cheese samples were consistent with the scores from the flavor intensity evaluation model, which indicated that the constructed model could effectively evaluate the flavor of Mongolian cheese, providing a new method for the evaluation of the flavor of Mongolian cheese.

    β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) is a major allergen in cow’s milk. In this study, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, molecular docking, and indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to explore the interaction of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with β-LG and its influence on the allergenicity of β-LG. The results showed that the binding of DHA to β-LG significantly changed the microenvironment of the aromatic residues of β-LG and increased its polarity. DHA bound to β-LG to form a stable complex through hydrophobic interactions, changing the secondary structure of β-LG and resulting in folding of its backbone. The relative content of β-sheet increased and then decreased with increasing concentration of DHA, while the relative content of α-helix showed an opposite trend. However, the relative contents of β-turn and random coil showed irregular changes. In addition, the antigenicity of β-LG decreased after combination with DHA, and the immunoglobulin E (IgE) binding ability inhibition rate was about 29% by 3 mmol/L DHA.

    Whey protein is an important component of milk, but heat treatment during sterilization has a certain impact on the structure and properties of whey protein. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of different heat treatments on the denaturation degree, physicochemical properties and functionality of camel whey protein, which was separated from camel milk heat-treated under different conditions, 65 ℃/30 min, 85 ℃/15 s, 125 ℃/4 s and 135 ℃/4 s, after milk fat and casein precipitation. The results showed that whey protein treated at 65 ℃ for 30 min had the highest turbidity (0.14), particle size (0.24 μm), zeta potential (?9.54 mV), solubility (24.57 mg/mL), and relative content of α-helix (31%) as well as the lowest relative contents of β-turn (13%) and random coil (19%); the water-holding capacity (WHC), foaming capacity and emulsifying capacity were significantly increased by the heat treatment, which indicated that 65 ℃/30 min treatment resulted in the smallest denaturation degree of whey protein and improvements in its functional properties such as emulsifying capacity, foaming capacity, WHC and oil-holding capacity (OHC) without significantly changing its physicochemical properties. With an increase in the heating temperature, the particle size of whey protein under 85 ℃/15 s treatment was increased to 0.32 μm, and the solubility was reduced to 22.34 mg/mL, but its functionality was improved compared with that of raw milk whey protein. Treatment at 125 ℃ for 4 s or 135 ℃for 4 s led to a large number of whey protein denaturation, destroyed the secondary structure, increased the particle size and turbidity, decreased the solubility, and worsened the functional properties.

    In this study, headspace solid phase microextraction in combination with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC × GC-TOFMS) was used to analyze the volatile compounds in whole (WM), low-fat milk (LFM) and non-fat milk (NFM). Altogether 49 volatile compounds were detected, among which methyl ketones with odd-numbered carbon chain lengths such as 2-nonanone and 2-undecanone constituted the main flavor compounds of WM. Using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), a model which could well differentiate among the 3 milks was developed and it was found to have good variance and cross-validation predictive ability. Nine differential key aroma compounds were identified using variable importance in the projection (VIP) > 1, P ≤ 0.05 and their contents ≥ 1% as criteria, which may be the main factors contributing to the differences in flavor profiles among the 3 milks. The heatmap from clustering analysis indicated that NFM had poor sensory performance due to the presence of off-flavor compounds (e.g., hexadecanal), whereas WM and LFM contained more aroma compounds, having a full and rich sensory aroma profile. The HS-SPME-GC × GC-TOFMS method can provide theoretical guidance for dairy flavor improvement and dairy flavoring formulation.

    In this research, the effect of different secondary homogenization pressures on the quality of ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilized (UHT) whipped cream was analyzed. The results showed that secondary homogenization of whipped cream at pressures ranging from 4 to 8 MPa shifted the size distribution of the emulsion droplets toward smaller values, and increased the apparent viscosity, which improved the stability of the emulsion. However, too high homogenization pressure led to fat aggregation within the emulsion droplets, affecting the apparent viscosity and foam stability of whipped cream. With an increase in secondary homogenization pressure, whipping time of whipped cream was prolonged, whipping rate, foam stability and hardness was decreased, and even at 12 MPa, it could not be whipped into shape. Therefore, it is recommended that the secondary homogenizing pressure be controlled in the range of 4 to 6 MPa.

The supernatant was cleaned up on C18, Ag, and Na solid-phase extraction (SPE) columns, and analyzed by IC-CD. An external standard method was used for quantification. The IC-CD method was validated. Good linearity between the concentrations of nitrite (NaNO2) and nitrate (NaNO3) in the range of 0.01–0.20 mg/L and 0.1–2.0 mg/L, respectively and peak area was observed with correlation coefficient equal to or higher than 0.99. The limits of quantitation for nitrite and nitrate were 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg, respectively. The spiked recoveries ranged from 92.5% to 102.0%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for precision from 1.5% to 6.6%. This method is accurate, repeatable, simple and applicable to the determination of nitrite and nitrate in milk products.

    Our aim was to understand the pollution levels and sources of chlorate and perchlorate in infant formula milk powder and to evaluate the risk of dietary exposure to chlorate and perchlorate in infants and young children. A total of 165 batches of samples were collected from the water, cow milk, and ingredients used, as well as 131 batches of infant formula milk powder. Chlorate and perchlorate in each sample were detected using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and the data obtained were statistically analyzed. The results showed that chlorate and perchlorate were undetectable in the water samples. Cow milk was more severely polluted by perchlorate than by chlorate. Some ingredients were also found to contain chlorate and perchlorate. Infant formula milk powder was contaminated with chlorate and perchlorate, with average contents of 34.3 and 14.5 μg/kg, respectively. The average dietary exposure levels to chlorate and perchlorate for infants aged 0–6 months were 0.71 and 0.28 μg/(kg·d), respectively, which were at an acceptable level. Infant formula milk powder and the raw materials used were found to be contaminated by chlorate and perchlorate.

    The protein content, pH, color, colonies number, average particle size, zeta potential, degree of proteolysis and proteinase activity of ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk with and without protein coagulation and commercial pure milk samples were determined to analyze the reasons for protein coagulation in UHT milk at the end of self-life. The results showed that the total protein content of coagulated milk samples was 2.9 g/100 g, which was not significantly different from that of milk samples without protein coagulation, but the pH decreased slightly. The total color difference (ΔE) and brightness value (L*) decreased to 68.05 and 67.56, respectively, indicating that the color became dark, and the total bacterial count increased to 1.92 (lg(CFU/mL)). The proteinase activity was 2 565.33 U/L, the degree of proteolysis was 17.07%, the average particle size was 685.8 nm, and the zeta potential increased to ?19.97 mV; these data were all significantly higher than those of milk samples without protein coagulation and commercial pure milk. The trend of changes in proteinase activity was basically consistent with that of the degree of proteolysis, particle size and zeta potential for all samples tested. Protein coagulation in UHT milk at the end of shelf life may be attributed to protein hydrolysis due to increased protease activity and physical deposition caused by the enlargement of casein micelles during long-term storage at ambient temperature.

    The composition and content of amino acids in infant formula sold in China were investigated in comparison with human milk at different lactation stages. An amino acid analyzer was used to detect the contents of free and hydrolyzed amino acids in commercial infant formula, and total amino acid content and the proportion of individual amino acids were calculated. The results showed that free amino acids were detected in some of the 12 samples, while hydrolyzed amino acids were detected in all these samples. The average concentration of most amino acids was close to that of human milk at 1 to 60 d of lactation, and higher than that of human milk at 61 to 180 d. The average ratio of essential to total amino acids was 46.43%, which was close to that of human milk. The proportions of methionine and tryptophan to total amino acids were higher than those of human milk, the proportions of arginine and cystine to total amino acids were lower than those of human milk, and the proportion of other amino acids to total amino acids was close to that of human milk. This study reveals the difference in amino acid content between commercial infant formula and human milk.

    During storage, milk is prone to different degrees of oxidative degradation of fat with varying storage conditions, which changes the aroma components of milk. In this study, electronic nose based on gas chromatography (GC) and sensory evaluation were used to compare the changes in the composition of volatile flavor compounds and sensory properties of pasteurized whole milk, low-fat milk and skim milk (fat contents of 4, 1.4 and 0 g/100 mL) during storage at different temperatures. The results showed that all three milks maintained good flavor characteristics during storage at 4 ℃. The composition of flavor substances in whole milk was more complex, where 43 volatile compounds were identified, and no obvious stale flavor was perceived. The decreasing order of difficulty of fat oxidation was whole milk > low-fat milk > skim milk. Nonanal, a marker of lipid oxidation, was detected in both skim milk and low-fat milk. Methyl ketones derived from lipid oxidization such as 2-butanone, 2,3-butanedione, 2-hexanone, 2-heptanone and 2-undecanone were detected in skim milk during storage. The results of sensory evaluation were basically consistent with those of electronic nose. The sweetness and milky flavor of whole milk were more prominent, the flavor of low-fat milk was relatively bland, and skim milk tasted slightly bitter after 21 days of storage at 25 ℃. The findings of this study will provide a scientific basis for monitoring the flavor changes of milk products during storage and improving the quality of milk products.

    In order to improve the detection efficiency of molds and yeasts in low-temperature yogurt, primers and probes were designed according to the sequences of the conserved gene elongation factor-1α (EF-1α) for molds and yeasts, respectively. A real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method with TaqMan probe was established for the detection of molds and yeasts, respectively. The genomic DNA of fungi and lactic acid bacteria commonly found in low-temperature yogurt, were used as amplification templates for specificity testing. The sensitivity and repeatability were also tested, and the standard curves were constructed. The results showed that the designed primers and probes had good specificity; the sensitivity of the method was 101 and 102 CFU/mL for yeasts and molds, respectively; the coefficients of variation within and between groups in the repeatability test were less than 2%, indicating good reliability and stability; the correlation coefficients of the standard curves were higher than 0.99. Therefore, the real-time PCR method enables the rapid detection of molds and yeasts in low-temperature yogurt.

    Casein phosphopeptide, as a “mineral carrier”, can effectively improve the bioavailability of mineral elements through its special phosphoserine structure. Studies have shown that casein phosphopeptides can chelate metal cations, forming soluble complexes, which can protect mineral elements, improve the bioavailability of mineral elements in physiological environments from neutral to alkaline environments, and avoid adverse effects caused by reactions between mineral elements and simultaneously ingested food components or other mineral elements. Casein phosphopeptides can not only promote the absorption of mineral elements, but also supplement peptides with important biological activities, and therefore have broad prospects for application and development in the fields of pharmaceutical, functional food, health food and green additives.

    This study explored the impact of ultra-high pressure jet (UHPJ) treatment on the quality of fresh skimmed milk. After UHPJ treatment at pressures ranging from 100 to 300 MPa, the changes in the color, odor and overall flavor of skimmed milk were detected by using electronic eye, electronic nose and sensory evaluation. The results showed that the main color number of skimmed milk was white 4095, constituting 46.80%–53.83%. A total of 42 volatile flavor components such as esters, ketones, and aldehydes were detected by electronic nose. The majority of the flavor components exhibited milky, fruity, roasted, and grassy aromas. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the flavor of samples treated at 300 MPa differed greatly from that of other treated samples. Sensory evaluation indicated that among the flavor attributes evaluated, milky aroma and sweetness were prominent, and there were considerable differences between different samples in terms of sweetness, peptone-like, rusty, burnt and bland flavors. Samples treated at 250 and 300 MPa generated sulfide compounds such as dimethyl sulfide that significantly enhanced the burnt and peptone-like flavors of skimmed milk. In conclusion, UHPJ treatment with 200 MPa can better retain the flavor components in skimmed milk and consequently maintain the flavor of raw milk.

    Chromium is an important analytical item in food quality and safety monitoring. Two common methods to detect chromium in food: graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) are specified in the National Food Safety Standard Determination of Chromium in Foods (GB 5009.123-2023). This study systematically evaluated the stability, bias, linearity, repeatability, and reproducibility of the two methods using Minitab statistical tools by control chart, independent sample, t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) methods. The results showed that no outliers were found in the range or mean plots for each method, with within-group errors under statistical control and good stability; the results of gauge linearity and bias analysis showed no significant bias or significant linear error; the gauge repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) analysis showed good repeatability and reproducibility. Two-way ANOVA showed that the sample was the only factor that significantly affected the measurement error. Research variation analysis showed that the measurement system error was acceptable. ICP-MS and GF-AAS can effectively ensure the reliability and repeatability of the detected data of chromium content in milk powder. The findings of this study can not only provide a scientific basis for laboratory analysis and control of measurement system errors, but also provide a reference for the evaluation of measurement systems for the determination of other heavy metals in dairy products and other foods.

    This study explored changes in the acidity of sheep milk across different lactation periods and the key factors affecting the acidity of sheep milk. The pH, titratable acidity, fat content, protein content and composition, total sugar content, mineral content, density, lactose content, fatty acid composition and content were analyzed, and the correlation between physicochemical indexes and acidity was investigated. The results indicated that the acidity of raw sheep milk was closely related to lactation stages. The highest acidity was observed in the early lactation period, which then gradually decreased as lactation progressed. Acidity changes were primarily associated with the protein content, fat content, fatty acid composition, total sugar content, lactose content, mineral content, and density of the milk. Among these, the protein content showed the strongest correlation with acidity changes, whereas fatty acid content had a relatively low correlation with acidity variations.

    Exopolysaccharides (EPS) from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum have been found to possess a variety of biological activities such as antitumor and antioxidant, but few studies on the synthesis of EPS by L. plantarum in skim milk have been reported. The aim of the present study was to screen L. plantarum with high EPS production capability in skim milk, which will be great significance to the application of L. plantarum in dairy products. L. plantarum RT-6 (CGMCC No. 26778), with a high capability of producing EPS, was isolated from homemade yogurt collected in Guilin, Guangxi, China by the colony thread-drawing method. Its EPS producing capability was compared with that of other L. plantarum strains. The culture conditions for EPS production by L. plantarum RT-6 were optimized using one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method and response surface methodology (RSM). It was found that among all tested L. plantarum strains, RT-6 exhibited the highest EPS yield when cultured in reconstituted skim milk, whereas most other strains grew slowly or even could not grow. The optimal culture conditions were determined as 39 h, 32 ℃, 101 mg/mL and 1.488 mmol/L for fermentation time, fermentation temperature, skim milk concentration and concentration of mixed essential amino acids, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, the yield of EPS was 241.1 mg/L, 2.6 times higher than that before optimization.
