The Journal of Cândido Tostes Dairy Institute is an open-access scientific publication of the Minas Gerais Agricultural Research Company (EPAMIG), through its Cândido Tostes Dairy Institute (ILCT) in Brazil. It publishes research articles and literature reviews focused on milk and dairy products, serving readers interested in dairy science, food technology, production, and quality. Its coverage includes subjects such as milk microbiology and nutrition, cheese making, fermented and functional foods, food safety, processing, quality control, and dairy-industry innovation.

Recent articles address innovations using milk from different species, the challenges facing informal artisanal cheese producers, and wastewater treatment in cheese production. The journal makes its content freely available and charges no fees for article submission or publication. Its website provides current and archived issues, information for readers, authors, and librarians, and submission guidance.

At present, the journal has temporarily suspended new submissions while its team processes manuscripts already under review and prepares approved work for publication
