Milk consumption is a very important part of consumers’ daily diet due to its positive health effect. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the market of milk and dairy products. The paper analyzes the development of milk consumption in V4 countries, which was described by using regression functions. The data were obtained from the statistical offices of chosen countries. Based on the achieved results it was found that in Slovakia and Hungary milk consumption is very low, but in the Czech Republic and Poland consumption is recorded in the range of recommended doses and is sufficient. Looking to the future, based on the described trend of consumption, it is possible to assume that the situation in the Slovak Republic will be accompanied by unfavorable developments and in comparison with other V4 countries, Slovakia will consume the least milk and dairy products per capita. Moreover, a questionnaire survey orientated on the level of milk consumption and consumer behavior was conducted on the sample of 518 respondents. Average Slovak consumers consume daily 1 glass of milk, 20 g of cheese, 70 g of curds, and 250 g of sour-milk or other dairy product. Depending on the level of consumption, 3 consumer segments were defined for which different consumer behavior was identified, especially in the issue of factor assessment. In general, however, it is concluded that the quality and price of milk and dairy products are crucial for consumers to make their choice.

The paper is focused on the issue of consumption of milk and dairy products as an important part of the rational nutrition of the population of the Slovak Republic. The aim of the paper is to highlight the development of consumption of drinking milk and selected dairy products, including cheese and acid-based products, in the last 20 years in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. Furthermore, the paper focuses on comparing current consumption of milk and dairy products with recommended intakes resulting from the rationalization of diet. Based on the results, it can be stated that the consumption of milk and dairy products is insufficient at the level of 70% of the recommended consumption intakes of the selected food group. In connection with this, it is important to note that the consumption of drinking milk is low. The results obtained by processing the secondary data were supplemented with the primary data obtained from the questionnaire survey. Based on the results, we have conclude that most consumers are trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle and rational diet, which is just the consumption of milk and dairy products. Consumers especially prefer drinking milk, cheese and yoghurt, whose consumption is still low, which the respondents attribute to the high prices of the monitored products as compared to their income. On the other hand, the results showed the main factors determining the consumption of milk and dairy products, among which we can include quality, composition, price, durability and nutrition data. Based on the results obtained by processing secondary data and primary research, we suggest informing and educating consumers about the positive health effects and highlighting the recommended benefits to a greater extent.

Современный рынок молочной продукции претерпевает существенные изменения, в основе которых лежит тенденция на удешевление продукции. Российские молочные продукты, произведенные из классического сырья по традиционным технологиям, зачастую подвергаются фальсификации продуктами с пониженными массовыми долями жира и белка, заменой молочных компонентов и живых заквасочных культур вследствие отсутствия системы идентификационных характеристик. Реформой технического регулирования, проведенной в Российской Федерации в 2000 году, правила идентификации как способ отнесения продукта к определенной группе продукции посредством сопоставления его характеристик с установленными были законодательно закреплены на федеральном уровне. В настоящее время идентификация служит неотъемлемой частью оценки (подтверждения) соответствия продукции и является главным средством борьбы с фальсификацией. Критериями идентификации выступают регламентированные показатели продукта. Технический регламент Таможенного союза 033/2013 «О безопасности молока и молочной продукции» включает понятие «национальный молочный продукт», однако критерии идентификации этой группы продукции отсутствуют. Целью исследования был поиск уникальных характеристик российских молочных продуктов для их идентификации среди аналогичной продукции. В качестве метода был применен ретроспективный анализ литературы с глубиной поиска до 1930-х гг. Установлено, что в качестве критериев идентификации молочных продуктов использовали не только сырьевой и технологический признаки, но и упаковку. Выявленные критерии будут положены в основу формирования системы идентификации российских молочных продуктов. The modern dairy market is undergoing significant changes, which are based on the trend towards cheaper products. Russian dairy products made from classical raw materials using traditional technologies are often falsified by products with reduced mass fractions of fat and protein, replacing dairy components and live starter cultures due to the lack of an identification system. The reform of technical regulation carried out in the Russian Federation in 2000, the identification rules as a way of classifying a product as a specific product group by comparing the characteristics with the established ones were legally fixed at the federal level. Currently, identification is an integral part of the assessment (confirmation) of product conformity and is the main means of combating falsification. Identification criteria are regulated product indicators. The technical regulation of the Customs Union 033/2013 «On the safety of milk and dairy products” includes such a concept as «national dairy product», however, there are no criteria for identifying this group of products. The aim of the research was to search for unique characteristics of Russian dairy products and classical technologies that distinguish them from similar products. As a method, a retrospective analysis of the literature with a search depth of up to the 1930s was used. It was established that not only raw and technological characteristics, but also packaging were used as criteria for identifying dairy products. The identified criteria will be the basis for the formation of an identification system for Russian dairy products.

Objective: The study assessed milk consumption and prevalence of lactose intolerance among self-perceived lactose intolerant students of Abia State Polytechnic, Aba. Subject and Methods: The study involved 121 self-reported lactose intolerants students from which 76 students with confirmed cases of lactose intolerant were selected from two purposively selected departments namely: Food Science and Technology (F.S.T) and Hospitality Management Technology (H.M.T) Abia State Polytechnic Aba. Questionnaires were used to collect information on dairy consumption and self- perceived intolerance to milk; while milk tolerance test was used to investigate the incidence of lactose tolerance among the student Results: The result shows that self-perceived lactose intolerance was higher (89%) than the estimated prevalence of (79%) among the students. The majority of the students consumed milk and dairy products, with percentages of 100%, 82%, 72%, and 100% for milk, ice cream, yoghurt, and flavored dairy products, respectively. The frequency and serving portions consumed per day were small. The percentages were 24%, 17%, 16%, and 15% for milk, ice cream, yoghurt, and flavored dairy products, respectively. None of the subjects consumed up to 2 serving of milk per day. Conclusion: The result shows that a high percentage of the students still consume milk and dairy products, irrespective of their lactose intolerance. This suggests that lactose intolerance could not stop the subjects from consuming milk and dairy products. The low frequency of daily consumers of milk and dairy products coupled with small portion sizes of milk and dairy products indicates that dairy consumption among the subjects was poor and inappropriate. Inappropriate consumption of milk and dairy products would fail to meet the nutritional needs of the consumer.

Abstract The present meta-analysis was conducted to explore the role of milk and dairy products consumption on oral or oropharyngeal cancer risk. PubMed, Embase and Chinese Wanfang databases were investigated until 30 June 2019. The overall and subgroup associations were pooled with odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). As a result, the present study involving 4635 cases and 50777 participants from 12 publications suggested that an inverse association was found between milk and dairy products consumption and oral or oropharyngeal cancer risk (OR = 0.74, 95% CI = 0.59–0.92; I2 = 65.9%, Pfor heterogeneity=0.001). Four studies reported milk consumption on oral cancer risk, but no significant association was found (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.61–1.37). Six studies about milk consumption and oropharyngeal cancer risk found that there was a positive association between them (OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.44–0.90). In conclusion, findings from our meta-analysis indicated that milk and dairy products consumption may be associated with decreased risk of oral or oropharyngeal cancer.

The paper is focused on dairy sector with the emphasis on the development of consumption of milk and dairy products, including cheese, curd and other dairy products, in the last 15 years in the Slovak Republic and in the Czech Republic. The aim of the paper is to identify the level of milk and dairy products consumption, as well as to identify the main determinants affecting the consumption. Paper is also aimed at milk production with emphasis on the main problems that may affect future development on the dairy market. The primary data are obtained by consumer survey and survey aimed focused on producers of milk and dairy products. Based on the results we have identified that the milk and dairy products consumption by Slovak consumers is lower compared to the Czech Republic and the quality and price are considered as the main determinants influencing the consumption. We also found out that milk and dairy products producers are adapting their production to demand, but it is important to point out the barriers related in particular to the introduction of new technologies into production, rising input prices or growing consumer disinterest in the consumption of milk and dairy products.

The objective of this study was to know the existing buffalo milk trade and dairy products production status along with scope for buffalo milk product branding. Hence, a face-to-face interview with eighteen milk traders and processors were performed through simple random sampling method. Milk traders and processors were above 25 years old (94%) and above 5 years (89%) experienced in dairy business. The findings exposed that 11% of the participants were involved in milk collection and selling, 39% were directly involved in product manufacturing, and 50% were engaged in milk collection and processing. Among the manufactured dairy products, traditionally made fermented doi was the best - selling dairy product in the Bhola district. About 47% participants desired to incorporate fat-rich dairy products into their production processes. In general, milk traders sold the maximum amount of milk monthly to doi manufacturers (1453 L), followed by local customers (1175 L), sweetmeat manufacturers (1000 L), restaurants (257 L), and household consumers (250 L). Results showed that buffalo milk prices varied significantly (P<0.001) over the year. The peak buffalo milk price (122 BDT/L) was recorded between November and December, and the off-peak price (82 BDT/L) was between March to May. Data indicated that about 43-50 BDT profit derived through per kg doi and sweetmeat selling. Milk traders and processors mentioned that studied areas had greater shortage of milk preservation facilities. Overall, the findings of this study may give some context for developing sustainable buffalo milk and dairy products value chain in Bangladesh. Res. Agric., Livest.

PurposeCross-cultural studies on differences in eating and consumer behavior have several limitations due to differences between countries, for example, in national health policies. Switzerland combines cultural diversity between the language regions, but with a common national health policy. Therefore, Switzerland provides an ideal framework to investigate cross-cultural eating and consumer behavior. The aim of this study was to combine food consumption, purchase data and sales data to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of cultural dietary differences.Design/methodology/approachSix national Swiss studies on food consumption, one study of food sales from the largest supermarket chain in Switzerland and one national study of food purchasing were included. The estimated marginal mean of each food category in each language region was calculated using linear regression and respective linear random effect models.FindingsIn the French- and Italian-speaking regions more fish was sold, bought and consumed than in the German-speaking region of Switzerland. In contrast, in the German-speaking region, more milk and dairy products were sold, bought and consumed. Language regions explained sales, purchase and consumption of foods, but the findings were only consistent for fish and milk and dairy products.Originality/valueIf possible limitations of cross-culture studies between countries are eliminated, cultural eating and consumer differences are still visible, even in a small country like Switzerland. For the first time, the complexity of studying food consumption, purchasing and sales is shown in one study. This indicates the importance of further studies which consider these three perspectives to better understand cultural differences in eating and consumption behavior.

Abstract Background Previous studies have been conducted to assess the association of milk and dairy products consumption and oral or oropharyngeal cancer risk, with inconsistent results. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to explore the role of milk and dairy products consumption on oral or oropharyngeal cancer risk.Methods Databases of PubMed, Embase and Chinese Wanfang database were investigated until June 30th, 2019. The overall and subgroup associations were pooled with odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).Results This study involving 4635 cases and 50777 participants from 12 publications suggested that an inverse association was found between milk and dairy products consumption and oral or oropharyngeal cancer risk (OR= 0.74, 95%CI= 0.59-0.92; I2= 65.9%, Pfor heterogeneity = 0.001).

Abstract Objectives The consumption of milk and dairy products makes an important contribution to children's nutrient intake, yet due to relatively high saturated fat content, the health benefits of dairy products have come under question and public health advice is often perceived as unclear. This review aimed to provide an overview of the current available evidence taken from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on dairy product consumption and risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children, adolescents, and adults. Methods The literature of English-language systematic reviews and meta-analyses published up to September 2019 was reviewed by searching the following three databases: ISI Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Search terms included ‘dairy’, ‘milk’, ‘yogurt’, ‘obesity’, ‘adiposity’, ‘bodyweight’, ‘type 2 diabetes’, ‘cardiovascular diseases’, ‘coronary heart disease’, ‘blood pressure’, ‘insulin resistance’, ‘glucose’, ‘children’, ‘adolescents’, ‘adults’ and combinations of these. Published work on calcium supplementation was excluded. Results Milk and certain dairy products were found to be not associated with or inversely associated with obesity in children and adolescents. In adults, consumption of milk and dairy products improves body composition and enhances weight loss during energy restriction diets, while it has a neutral effect on body weight in maintenance diets. Prospective cohort studies suggest that the consumption of dairy products, with regular or low-fat content, does not adversely affect the risk of T2D or CVD outcomes and may have a protective effect. The plausible mechanisms underlying the effect of dairy nutrients on obesity and cardiometabolic disease are incompletely understood but may include effects on lipolysis, lipogenesis and fatty acid absorption. Conclusions Dairy product consumption, as part of a balanced diet, may protect against the risk of obesity, T2D, and CVD. However, further research is needed to better understand the role of different types of dairy products and of different fat content in obesity, T2D, and CVD. The new and emerging range of products (including plant-based alternatives) being used as dairy milk substitutes has yet to be evaluated in scientific studies. Funding Sources None.

Topicality. In Ukrainian society there is concern about the quality of dairy products produced by domestic producers. Dairy production is the most necessary in the diet of a human, especially at the child�s age. We cannot image the child diet without milk and dairy products. As the infant�s body is much more fragile and vulnerable to the quality and safety of the food, which he consumes, so the requirements to the quality and safety of dairy products need to be tightened, and the requirements must be increased. And it is precisely such the requirements that should apply to the development of economic entities that have the direct relation to the production, , maintenance and processes of milk processing. Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to analyze and estimate the condition of the commodity market in the link of the dairy product chain, the sanitary state of milk being milked, volumes of milk supply to the processing enterprises, production and distribution of the dairy products by sales channel, problems and possibilities of providing rational needs and the level of consumption of milk and dairy products by the population. Research results. Carried out complex analysis of the state of dairy industry and the raw material market in the link of the dairy logistics chain, the sanitary state of fresh milk, the volumes of milk supply to the extra grade processing enterprises, production and distribution of dairy products by sales channels. Conclusion. The condition of dairy market and enterprises shows, that adopting legislative and regulatory measures and norms synchronized with European ones will not produce the expected results, unless supported them by real investment projects, aimed at developing the market sectors, and, first of all, the raw milk sector, which produces milk. The strategy for the development of the milk market should be based on the development of large-scale milk commodity farms, equipped with all the necessary infrastructure: feed-storage shops, veterinary services, milking machines and cooling, and most importantly quality laboratories.
