Summary: Milk can be fractionated into various components using microfiltration technology, offering unique functional and nutritional benefits for new product development. Microfiltration shows promise in improving efficiency and quality in dairy production, particularly in cheese making. These new ingredients could provide unique functional and flavor properties in food applications, presenting potential growth opportunities in response to consumer demand for safe and nutritious foods.

Summary: This study characterized the interactions among proteins in sheep skim milk during heat treatments and their effects on the size and structure of casein micelles. The results showed that the denaturation and association of whey proteins with casein micelles increased with increasing heating temperature and time. The size of casein micelles also increased depending on the heating conditions and the level of association with denatured whey proteins. The aggregation of casein micelles and the association of whey proteins with micelles occurred simultaneously during heating.

Summary: The study found that the protein profile of goat milk varies significantly at different lactation stages, with colostrum showing the best protein properties on the first day after delivery. The physicochemical and functional properties of whey protein and casein from goat milk also exhibited distinct changes depending on the lactation period, suggesting potential applications in the dairy industry.

Summary: Milk, a highly nutritious food processed by heat treatment, undergoes molecular changes in whey proteins, resulting in the formation of whey protein-casein polymer complex. Increased temperature and duration of heat treatment significantly enhance the formation of this complex.

Summary: This study investigated the physical and chemical changes of milk concentrates after heating and cooling, and examined the effect of soluble phase composition on viscosity changes and protein aggregation. The results showed that heating led to a decrease in protein particle diameter and bulk viscosity, while turbidity increased. The presence of whey proteins was found to drive casein dissociation. Cooling kinetics also affected the dissociation of caseins in heated skim milk. Control of diafiltration for ions and whey protein depletion is critical for the technological quality of the concentrates.

Summary: The structure of food before ingestion and during digestion plays an important role in food digestion, with milk proteins forming a structured coagulum under gastric conditions. This interaction affects the digestion of proteins, lipids, and other nutrients, highlighting the potential to produce healthy foods by manipulating milk protein restructuring properties.

Summary: This systematic review examines the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychological features of Night Eating Syndrome (NES) in patients with eating disorders, obesity, or undergoing bariatric surgery. The study found that NES patients have elevated eating disorder pathology and higher occurrence of depressive symptoms compared to controls. The review suggests that NES can be differentiated from Binge Eating Disorder based on factors such as emotional eating, body-related concerns, and abnormal eating episodes.

Summary: The world's demand for plant protein consumption is increasing, but their application in different foods is limited due to their low techno-functionality. Direct steam injection heating (DSIH) is a promising technique to modify the structure and functionality of proteins, and it has been widely used in sterilization of milk. However, its application in producing plant protein ingredients is seldom. This review summarizes recent research on using DSIH to process dairy and plant-based proteins and suggests future research perspectives.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive review of the potential of valorizing proteins recovered from protein-containing milk by-products or surplus, particularly whey proteins or caseins, through chemical and/or physical processes. It explores the characteristics of whey proteins and caseins, and their applications in non-food industries such as textiles, packaging, and biomedicine, aiming to raise awareness and promote the sustainability of these proteins for new opportunities in a circular economy context.

Summary: Obesity is a known risk factor for the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), particularly phenotype A. PCOS is a major cause of fertility disorders in women of reproductive age. Treatment of hormonal disorders associated with PCOS has been pursued for years to restore ovulation and regular menstrual cycles. Obesity treatment has been proven effective for many women, but may be challenging due to underlying emotional eating, eating disorders, and impaired reward system. Recognizing and treating these disorders, including the appropriate use of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, is crucial for effective obesity treatment in women with PCOS.

Summary: Milk is an important source of nutrients for mammalian neonates, but its perishable nature can lead to the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Heat treatments are used to improve the shelf life of milk, with UHT milk having a more cooked flavor. Factors such as processing parameters, storage conditions, and packaging type influence the quality characteristics and consumer acceptance of milk.
