Since 2005, Researcher at the Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l’analisi dell’economia agraria—Centro di ricerca CREA—Alimenti e Nutrizione. The core of her research is the study of chemical, nutritional and bioactive components of food, with particular regard to the wide spectrum of substances classes and their nutraceutical features. For several years, she was involved in national and international research projects on evaluation of several factors (agronomic practices, processing, etc.) that affect food quality, the levels of bioactive molecules and the total antioxidant properties, as well as on their possible impact on the biological role played by bioactive components in human physiology. Her research activities are addressed also towards the development, management and updating of the Food Composition Database, as well as Bioactive Compounds and Food Supplements databases; particular attention was given towards the harmonization of analytical procedures and classification and codification of food preparation and food supplements. v beverages Editorial Milk: Bioactive Components and Role in Human Nutrition Alessandra Durazzo Consiglio per la ricerca in agricoltura e l’analisi dell’economia agraria—Centro di ricerca CREA—Alimenti e Nutrizione, Via Ardeatina 546, 00178 Rome, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-06-514-94430; Fax: +39-06-514-94550 Academic Editor: Edgar Chambers IV Received: 28 November 2017; Accepted: 14 December 2017; Published: 19 December 2017 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 [1–4]. Gennaro et al. [3] provide an updated picture of communication strategies developed to improve healthy dietary habits in schoolchildren, with a focus on the importance of milk consumption. An example of this strategy is given by Emerson et al. [1]: small prizes increased plain milk and vegetable selection by elementary schoolchildren without adversely affecting total milk purchase. 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, also in the areas of circular bioeconomy and biorefinery [5]. In this context, the review by Vincenzetti et al. [6] focuses on the role of proteins and some bioactive peptides on nutritional quality, as well as the potential beneficial properties of donkey milk. The microbiological, nutritional and sensory profile of raw and heat-treated milk are described in the work of Melini et al. [7], in order to evaluate the real risks and benefits of its consumption. Then, Gambelli [8] provides an updated picture of methodologies for the assessment of lactose. Some studies on the potential benefits of some milk components [9,10], as well as a consideration from a nutritional point of view of organic vs. conventional milk with regard to fat-soluble vitamins and iodine content [11], are also discussed. I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the authors of the publications in this Special Issue. Their contributions will help to improve the understanding and promotion the key role of milk in nutrition. References 1.
