Unlocking the physiological benefits of milk proteins
Bruce German, professor of food science and technology at the University of California, Davis, provides insight into the future use of genomics as a tool for understanding the role of dairy proteins in human health. The challenges to food research are to advance food products beyond the successes of taste, convenience, safety and the provision of essential nutrients, and to build the knowledge base necessary for developing foods that deliver documented health benefits. How then, can scientific and biological principles be developed to assemble this knowledge?
