Product Optimization in the Dairy Industry – From Data to Value
One of the major focus areas in the dairy industry is product optimization through improved measurement and advanced automation.
The technology for inline and online process measurement instruments has matured in recent years and is now more robust with reduced calibration needs compared to previous generations. Combined with digital solutions, this enables high-precision monitoring and control of production from raw material intake to finished product.
By leveraging accurate data and intelligent control, dairies can reduce waste, ensure consistent quality, and optimize yield.
Automation and data integration therefore become key drivers for both sustainability and increased competitiveness – where every decimal in fat, total solids, or protein makes a tangible difference to the bottom line.
Cellular Agriculture – Opportunities and Challenges
Cellular agriculture encompasses both precision fermentation and cultivated milk. Both areas are rapidly evolving. In the case of cultivated milk, udder cells are obtained from slaughtered animals or milk and cultured in the lab. We are investigating whether this enables the cells to express and secrete milk components. Precision fermentation is a well-established technique, but there is growing interest in applying fermentation to food proteins, particularly milk proteins. Depending on the microorganism used as a host, various challenges may arise regarding how the proteins are modified and whether they possess the same functional properties as proteins from cow’s milk—including whether casein micelles can be formed.

Exploring Electrodialysis Technology in Modern Dairy Processing
Electrodialysis is an emerging membrane technology that uses an electric field to separate charged molecules through selective ion-exchange membranes. In the dairy industry, electrodialysis offers new opportunities for demineralisation/mineralisation, peptide/protein fractionation, pH standardisation, etc.. One promising application is acidification without added acids, offering a clean and sustainable alternative to traditional methods. With increasing demand for clean-label processes, electrodialysis represents a strong candidate for the next generation of dairy separation technologies.
