Milk consumption has traditionally been recognized as a fundamental element of global dietary patterns due to its perceived nutritional advantages. Nonetheless, a substantial decrease in milk consumption has been identified within diverse populations in recent times. Specifically, consumers' expectations and representations of milk quality have undergone notable transformations, contributing to the observed reduction in consumption. The objective of this systematic review was to conduct a comprehensive examination and categorization of the conceptual attributes associated with milk quality, considering the representations of citizen-consumers, farmers, and processing experts. This review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The titles and abstracts of 409 articles were screened, and 20 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. The results demonstrate the existence of a dual articulation in the conceptual definition of milk quality. Farmers and processing experts exhibited a relatively similar representation of milk quality, focusing on technical indicators. In contrast, citizen-consumers held more simplistic and subjective concepts that are challenging to quantify. This study emphasized the critical need for establishing a platform for communication and knowledge exchange to foster shared representations and expectations regarding milk quality.
由于其被认为具有的营养优势，传统上牛奶消费一直被视为全球饮食模式的一个基本要素。然而，近年来在不同人群中已发现牛奶消费量大幅下降。具体而言，消费者对牛奶质量的期望和认知发生了显著变化，这导致了观察到的消费量下降。本系统综述的目的是考虑公民消费者、农民和加工专家的认知，对与牛奶质量相关的概念属性进行全面审查和分类。本综述按照系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南进行。筛选了409篇文章的标题和摘要，并评估了20篇全文文章的合格性。结果表明，牛奶质量的概念定义存在双重表述。农民和加工专家对牛奶质量的认知相对相似，侧重于技术指标。相比之下，公民消费者持有更简单和主观的概念，难以量化。本研究强调迫切需要建立一个沟通和知识交流平台，以促进对牛奶质量的共同认知和期望。
