Aarhus University, CopenhagenJune 13th -16th 2022
The Dairy Science and Technology Symposium 2022 consists of two different events:
- An online symposium from Jun 13th to Jun 16th, starting 15:00 CET, targeted equally at students of dairy science that are interested in the latest topics and dairy professionals from academia and industry.
- A summer school from Jun 14th to Jun 17th, starting 9:00 CET, for early career researchers, who want to strengthen their knowledge in dairy science and enhance their transferable skills.
Key Sessions & Activities

Monday 13th June 2022 THE ROLE OF MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS IN HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE DIETS Sustainable Healthy Diets are dietary patterns that promote all dimensions of individuals’ health and wellbeing, have low environmental pressure and impact are accessible, affordable, safe and equitable and are culturally acceptable. Unfortunately, in the public debate, this is often reduced solely environmental impact on product level, thus ignoring the dietary level, as well as economic and social factors. Holistic approach on sustainable and healthy diets, particularly when include circular rather than linear food systems, clearly highlight importance of milk and dairy products in a sustainable and healthy diet. Key aspects in this are the nutrient density, the high digestibility and bioavailability, but also the affordability and social acceptance, combined with an ever-decreasing footprint. The role of milk and dairy products in a sustainable and healthy diet should, as such, be the foundation of a demand driven dairy chain. |

Tuesday 14th June 2022 DELIVERING NUTRITION WITH DAIRY Nutritional sciences have taken some steps in the last decade changing focus from reductionistic component-based approaches to more holistic product-based approaches, wherein the (potential) interaction between constituents and a product and the influence of the structure of the food products is also considered. This has been key in e.g., the saturated fat discussion, where is has been clearly shown that findings from studies on saturated fatty acids in isolation cannot be translated to effects observed in a dairy matrix like cheese, but also for e.g., chocolate or red meat. However, also for other concepts this applies. Consider e.g., the (lack of) cariogenicity of milk and dairy products, due to lactose as a low-cariogenic carbohydrate source combined with the protective effects of the caseins and milk salts.

Wednesday 15th June 2022 PROCESSING OF MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS: FOR SAFE, STABLE AND NUTRITIOUS PRODUCTS Within the dairy chain, processing of milk plays an extremely important role. First and foremost, it is required to improve the safety and extent the shelf-life of products, thereby ensuring that products can be safely distributed all over the world. This shelf-life extension can be achieved through heat treatment, but also through fermentation or drying. In addition, processing is also important to ensure that a dairy matrix is created which is preferable by consumers, which can be digested and from which nutrients bioavailable. Such processing can include similar steps as for shelf-life extension, but also other processing techniques, including e.g., non-thermal processing.

Thursday 16th June 2022 DESIGNED TO DELIVER Key in the ability of milk and dairy products to function as excellent food matrices is the fact that milk, in essence, is designed to deliver. It is the sole source of nutrition for the neonate and contains essential structural elements, e.g., in the form of casein micelles and milk fat globules, which deliver a multitude of nutrients, including salts, vitamins and proteins. In addition, colloidal stability of these structure elements in the GI tract also leads to important control of the kinetics of digestion and release of nutrients, enabling maximum utilization of nutrients from milk and dairy products. Hence, understanding of these key structure elements and their biological function, and their interaction with (micro-)nutrients is key to creating products that fit in a healthy and sustainable diet.
