Application of lactic acid bacteria in the markets are divided into four categories: dairy industry, health food industry, animal feed industry and pharmaceutical industries. Recently, Lactobacillus acidophilus have been used in the food industry and have obtained great attention as key cultures for health benefit. Since commercial application of L. acidophilus has become a common practice, characterization of these cultures were made. Futhermore, the strains selected should produce a final dairy product possessing good taste and acceptable body and texture, a selection step that cannot be achieved unless the product is actually manufactured. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) have been recognized as antioxidants, cancer inhibitors, cholesterol depressing agents, and growth promoting factors. Food products from ruminants, particularly dairy products, are the major dietary source of CLA f3r humans. The CLA content in yogurt or cheese can be increased by action of the starter cultures. The finding of the production of CLA by food starter culture opens interesting perspectives far the future in producing fermented products enriched in CLA.

Nano-delivery systems, such as nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, and nanoliposomes, are carriers that have been used to enhance the chemical as well as physical stability and bioavailability of bioactive compound. Food-grade nano-delivery system can be produced with edible biopolymers including proteins and carbohydrates. In addition to the low-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability of these biopolymers, their functional characteristics, such as their ability to bind hydrophobic bioactive compounds and form a gel, make them potential and ideal candidates for the fortification of bioactive compounds in functional dairy foods. This review focuses on different types of nano-delivery systems and edible biopolymers as delivery materials. In addition, the applications of food-grade nano-delivery systems to dairy foods are also described.

The elderly often experience difficulty while eating; this can include physical problems, such as chewing and swallowing. Furthermore, their salt intake can be high due to a diminished sense of taste and smell. This can result in a reduction in calorie intake and subsequent malnourishment. Currently, the number of food products available in the market that are targeted specifically at the older population is very low. Development of nutritional supplement-based foods for the elderly is expected to reduce these dietary problems and therefore prevent nutritional deficiencies within this population. Milk and other dairy products are excellent sources of nutrition in terms of both nutrient content and absorption rates. Dairy products have been consumed around the world for centuries, and therefore represent an excellent food source for the elderly. In addition, use of milk-derived ingredients, such as casein and calcium, will enable the development of a variety of food products and supplements targeted at this specific age group. In the future, it is expected that milk and other dairy products will be used to develop a variety of nutritious food items for the elderly in the domestic food market.

With the starting of Uruguay Round(UR) and World Trade Organization(WTO), the direction of trade in world market has been setting up with the beginning of an opening age. However, world nations has been expressed a deep concern on the marketing and the circulations of unsafe foods, especially in the international trade of food products. Therefore, administration of most countries are taking a firm step on the safety of imported food products. The implementation of hazard analysis critical control point(HACCP) system in food industry is strongly appeared on the world stage at this point. Major international organizations, such as WHO, WTO, and EC have been recognized the importance of HACCP and already documented on their future plan for standardization of food safety in the international trade of food products by means of the this system. Several advanced countries have already developed HACCP system for the food industry and have been producing food products under this system. Now they have proposed rulemakings on a mandatory HACCP program in the production of domestic and imported food products. However, with the lacking of knowledge and information on the HACCP, there has been no actions for applying this system in the food industry of Korea. It is a very clear fact that Korean dairy and food industry will be faced on serious problems in exporting food products without applying HACCP system in the very near future. The objective of this article is to introduce the world trend. necessity, and application of HACCP system in food and dairy industry. Also a HACCP system developed by one dairy processing plant in Europe will be demonstrated as a moldel system.

Milk and dairy products are the high value foods for the elderly population. In particular, fermented milk is the best source of calcium for people in the specific age group of over 79 years. It provides a good source of protein. Regular exercise and active lifestyle are recommended to slow down the muscle loss. However, exercising without proper nutrient intake is simply not sufficient at this age. Milk and dairy products provide the iron and protein content required for effective exercise-assisted growth. Milk nutrients have the advantage of being produced in various food forms, such as liquid, semi-solid, and powder types. Fat-soluble vitamins such as retinol and vitamin K can be encapsulated using various technologies for milk and dairy products. Using the encapsulation method, spray drying and fluidized-bed coating have been used for adding the micro-nutrients to the food. Microencapsulation technology is being applied in case of the fermented dairy products too. In particular, various wall materials are being developed to enhance the viability of probiotics. In the near future, advanced high-efficiency technologies that can effectively nourish the dairy products with nutrients will be developed to produce targeted high-nutrition value food for the elderly.

Milk proteins, such as casein and whey protein, exhibit significant potential as natural emulsifiers for the preparation and stabilization of emulsion-based delivery systems. This can be attributed to their unique functional properties, such as the amphiphilic nature, GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status, high nutritional value, and viscoelastic film-forming ability around oil droplets. In addition, milk protein has been used as a coating material in emulsion-based delivery systems to protect bioactive compounds during food processing and storage owing to its unique functional properties. These properties include the ability to bind lipophilic bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. In this review, we present the use of milk proteins as emulsifiers for the formation of emulsions and food applications of milk protein-stabilized emulsion delivery systems.

The consumption of meat has been increasing, leading to a dynamic meat and meat processing industry. To maintain the quality and safety of meat products, various technologies have been explored, including intense pulsed light (IPL) technology. Several factors affect the inactivation of microorganisms by IPL treatment, including light intensity (fluence), treatment duration, pulse frequency, and the distance between the lamp and the samples. Meat products have been studied for IPL treatment, resulting in microbial reductions of approximately 0.4-2.4 Log. There are also impacts on color, sensory attributes, and physico-chemical quality, depending on treatment conditions. Processed meat products like sausages and ham have shown microbial reductions of around 0.1-4 Log with IPL treatment. IPL treatment has minimal impact on color and lipid oxidation in these products. Egg products and dairy items can also benefit from IPL treatment, achieving microbial reductions of around 1-7.8 Log. The effect on product quality varies depending on the treatment conditions. IPL technology has shown promise in enhancing the safety and quality of various food products, including meat, processed meat, egg products, and dairy items. However, the research results on animal-based food are not diverse and fragmentary, this study discusses the future research direction and industrial application through a review of these researches.
