Starting with the special issue “Cheese in nutrition and health” by B. Walther in November, Dairy Science & Technology will be selecting certain papers as “Highlight papers” from time to time. We believe that these papers will be of particular interest to our readers due to the topic or approach pursued or perhaps the reach and implications of their results. “Highlight papers” will be briefly introduced by one of the Editors, and will be available (without charge and indefinitely) on the Dairy Science & Technology electronic site.
