Abstract: This paper reviewed the current research status of products combining wolfberry and milk,and systematically analyzed the interaction mechanism between the two and the progress in product development and application research. Firstly,the main bioactive substances contained in wolfberry and their nutritional values were summarized,as well as the key nutrients affected by wolfberry in milk. Secondly,the potential of wolfberry-milk composite system in terms of nutritional complementarity and functional synergy was analyzed,and the current research and development status of related products was reviewed. Studies have showed that this composite product can significantly enhance the nutritional value of milk. However,key issues such as the interaction mechanism,bioavailability in the body,and the stability of active components during processing still need to be further explored. This paper innovatively proposed the development ideas for wolfberry-milk products,and looked forward to conducting research in the future focusing on aspects such as processing stability,active substance retention,and clarification of the mechanism of action,in order to promote the scientific development and industrial application of this type of functional dairy products.

Key words: milk, wolfberry, nutrient interaction, products
