Abstract: Milk is known as the white blood. In addition to nutrients,milk also contains a range of non-nutrient components. As a multifunctional small molecule,the most prominent properties of melatonin are its regulation of circadian rhythms and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Melatonin in mammalian milk affects the function and immune activity of milk. This paperreviewed the rhythmic changes of melatonin in mammalian milk and its sources and functions, aiming to provide a reference for further research and exploitation of melatonin functions in milk.

Key words: melatonin, milk, blood, circadian rhythm
