Highlights

In the current Special Issue, numerous and different aspects related to milk, an important component of a well-balanced diet, are presented
Several of the scientists that contributed to this Special Issue investigated and tested the effectiveness of actions targeting the promotion of milk, and an increase in general daily milk consumption, especially for children: an important goal to achieve [1,2,3,4]
Two [2,4] of these studies are addressed towards consumer reactions relating to interventions promoting use of 1% low-fat milk. It is worth mentioning the work of Lucarini [5] on the bioactive peptides of milk, from encrypted sequences to healthy applications; the author underlines how the exploitation of chemistry, bioavailability and the biochemical properties of bioactive peptides represent a key tool for nutraceutical and functional foods, in the areas of circular bioeconomy and biorefinery [5]
