Nutrition research has shifted from single nutrients to examining the association of foods and dietary patterns with health. This includes recognizing that food is more than the sum of the individual nutrients and relates to the concept of the food matrix. Like other foods, dairy foods are characterized by their unique matrices and associated health effects. Although the concepts of the food matrix and/or dairy matrix are receiving increasing attention in the nutrition and health literature, there are different terms and definitions that refer to it. This article aims to provide insights into the application of the concepts of the food matrix and dairy matrix and to provide a current overview of the definitions and terminology surrounding the food matrix and dairy matrix. By analysing these aspects, we aim to illustrate the practical implications of the food matrix and dairy matrix on nutrition and health outcomes and evaluate their roles in shaping evidence-based policies for the benefit of public health. There is a need for harmonized definitions within the literature. Therefore, the International Dairy Federation put forward harmonized terms to be internationally applicable: the "dairy matrix" describes the unique structure of a dairy food, its components (e.g., nutrients and non-nutrients), and how they interact; "dairy matrix health effects" refers to the impact of a dairy food on health that extend beyond its individual components. |
