Although it is a by-product whose composition largely depends on the production technology, buttermilk is a nutritionally valuable food because it is a good source of minerals, vitamins and proteins and has a similar content to skimmed milk. Buttermilk is a functional food as it contains phospholipids and milk fat globule membranes, making it a good medium for the production of functional beverages with added functional ingredients such as fibre, prebiotics, probiotics, bioactive peptides and others. Nevertheless, buttermilk is not recognised by consumers as a valuable food, which is why its consumption is still insufficiently represented in the daily diet.

Keywords: buttermilk, by-product, functional food
