“…Sustainability arguments alone will not be sufficient [115,116]. Milk is a high-quality food source [117,118]: "core dairy foods (milk, cheese, yoghurt) have an important role for achieving adequate nutrient intakes in a healthy and lower greenhouse gas emission dietary pattern" [117]. Indeed, "animal-sourced foods are rich in bioavailable nutrients commonly lacking globally, and can make important contributions to food and nutrition security" [86], particularly for the 2.4 billion people who are either moderately or severely food insecure [87].…”

“…Milk is the "main contributing food item for calcium (49% of global nutrient availability), Vitamin B2 (24%), lysine (18%), and dietary fat (15%), and contributes more than 10% of global nutrient availability for a further five indispensable amino acids, protein, vitamins A, B5, and B12, phosphorus, and potassium" [6]. Milk provides sufficient vitamin B12, riboflavin and calcium/phosphorus to meet the needs of over 60%, 50% and 35% of the global population, respectively [118].…”

Human health and diet are closely linked. The diversity of diets consumed by humans is remarkable, and most often incorporates both animal and plant-based foods. However, there has been a recent call for a reduced intake of animal-based foods due to concerns associated with human health in developed countries and perceived impacts on the environment. Yet, evidence for the superior nutritional quality of animal-sourced food such as meat, milk, and eggs, compared with plant-based foods, indicates that consumption of animal-sourced food should and will continue. This being the case, the aim here is to examine issues associated with animal-sourced foods in terms of both the quantification and mitigation of unintended consequences associated with environment, animal health, and herd management. Therefore, we examined the role of animal proteins in human societies with reference to the UN-FAO issues associated with animal-sourced foods. The emphasis is on dominant grazed pastoral-based systems, as used in New Zealand and Ireland, both with temperate moist climates and a similar reliance on global markets for generating net wealth from pastoral agricultural products. In conclusion, animal-sourced foods are shown to be an important part of the human diet. Production systems can result in unintended consequences associated with environment, animal health, and herd management, and there are technologies and systems to provide solutions to these that are available or under refinement.

“…Milk is a natural food with high nutritional values. It is rich in lipids, proteins, lactose, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive nutrients [1,2], and is thus deeply loved by consumers. Milk, however, is very perishable.…”

Milk is one of the preferred beverages in modern healthy diets, and its freshness is of great significance for product sales and applications. By combining the two-dimensional (2D) correlation spectroscopy technique and chemometrics, a new method based on visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy was proposed to discriminate the freshness of milk. To clarify the relationship be-tween the freshness of milk and the spectra, the changes in the physicochemical indicators of milk during storage were analyzed as well as the Vis/NIR spectra and the 2D-Vis/NIR correlation spectra. The threshold-value method, linear discriminant analysis (LDA) method, and support vector machine (SVM) method were used to construct the discriminant models of milk freshness, and the parameters of the SVM-based models were optimized by the grid search method and particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results showed that with the prolongation of storage time, the absorbance of the Vis/NIR spectra of milk gradually increased, and the intensity of autocorrelation peaks and cross peaks in synchronous 2D-Vis/NIR spectra also increased significantly. Compared with the SVM-based models using Vis/NIR spectra, the SVM-based model using 2D-Vis/NIR spectra had a >15% higher prediction accuracy. Under the same conditions, the prediction performances of the SVM-based models were better than those of the threshold-value-based or LDA-based models. In addition, the accuracy rate of the SVM-based model using the synchronous 2D-Vis/NIR autocorrelation spectra was >97%. This work indicates that the 2D-Vis/NIR correlation spectra coupled with chemometrics is a great pattern to rapidly discriminate the freshness of milk, which provides technical support for improving the evaluation system of milk quality and maintaining the safety of milk product quality.

“…For this reason, the design of sustainable devices has been considered in order to incorporate such technology in the food production chain to reduce the environmental impact caused by food production [ 3 ]. Diverse food products are part of the basic basket, such as milk, which is broadly consumed around the world [ 4 ]. Milk has been considered as a complete food because of its nutritional content, which is beneficial to human health [ 5 ].…”

Milk is considered a complete meal that requires supervision to determine its suitability for human consumption. The development of sustainable devices that evaluate food properties has gained importance due to the necessity of integrating these instruments into the production chain. However, the materials employed to develop it, such as polymers, semiconductors, and glass, lack sustainability and require specialized equipment to fabricate them. Different chemical techniques have been used to miniaturize these detection systems such as microfluidics, which have been used in milk component detection using colorimetry. In this work, a cantilever beam paper-based microfluidic system is proposed to evaluate differences in milk, according to nutritional information, using its electromechanical response. A 20-microliter milk drop is deposited in the system, which induces hygroexpansion and deflection due to liquid transport within the paper. Likewise, a conductive path is added on the beam top surface to supply a constant current that induces heat to evaporate the solution. According to the results obtained, it is possible to point out differences between trademarks with this microfluidic system. The novelty of this system relies on the paper electromechanical response that integrates the hygroexpansion-induced displacement, which can be used for further applications such as milk microtesters instead of colorimetric tests that use paper as a property-evaluation platform in combination with chemical reactions.
