Novel Beverages Design: Properties, Sensory, and Nutrition

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the current increase in food intolerances and allergenic processes, such as lactose intolerance or allergy to cows' milk proteins, alternatives to conventional milk are being developed by the industry. Furthermore, in recent times, the proportion of the population following a plant-based diet has also grown. Therefore, there is a great interest in the development of these products and the search for formulations with a nutritional composition close to that of milk. This Special Issue invites original research manuscripts and comprehensive reviews aimed at these novel and innovative beverages, their nutritional compositions, their bioactive compounds, their improvements, their obtaining processes, and their sensorial acceptance by consumers.
