Conventional analytical methods, although accurate, are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and unsuitable for real-time applications. The integration of advanced sensing technologies with AI has therefore emerged as a promising approach for improving dairy quality control and food safety. This review examines recent advances in AI-enabled dairy quality assessment, covering spectroscopy-based sensing technologies, biomimetic sensing systems, machine vision, and multimodal data fusion. Particular attention is given to their applications in major dairy products, including raw milk, milk powder, cheese, and yogurt. Comparative analysis shows that AI-assisted sensing significantly enhances the accuracy, efficiency, and automation of compositional analysis, adulteration detection, microbial screening, freshness evaluation, and defect inspection, while multimodal approaches offer new opportunities for comprehensive quality assessment. The review further highlights the emerging role of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in improving the transparency and trustworthiness of dairy detection systems. Recent advances in feature attribution, decision interpretation, and uncertainty quantification are discussed, together with challenges related to data scarcity, model generalization, cross-instrument transferability, and explainability evaluation. Future developments in multimodal foundation models, standardized datasets, and explainable intelligent systems are expected to accelerate the deployment of trustworthy and scalable dairy quality assurance frameworks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15162925","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T16:05:19Z","timestamp":1787241919000},"page":"2925","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Artificial Intelligence-Driven Dairy Quality Assessment: From Advanced Sensing Technologies to Explainable Intelligence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaodong","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Dairy Quality Digital Intelligence Monitoring Technology, State Administration for Market Regulation, Hohhot 011517, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiran","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Center for Future Foods, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Congyang","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Dairy Quality Digital Intelligence Monitoring Technology, State Administration for Market Regulation, Hohhot 011517, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rina","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Dairy Quality Digital Intelligence Monitoring Technology, State Administration for Market Regulation, Hohhot 011517, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guanjun","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Dairy Quality Digital Intelligence Monitoring Technology, State Administration for Market Regulation, Hohhot 011517, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6079-009X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Center for Future Foods, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7921-6629","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haohan","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science Center for Future Foods, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"},{"name":"School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"138551","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2024.138551","article-title":"Oligosaccharide profiles as potential biomarkers for detecting adulteration of caprine dairy products with bovine dairy products","volume":"443","author":"Wang","year":"2024","journal-title":"Food Chem."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110984","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodres.2022.110984","article-title":"Critical review: Metabolomics in dairy science\u2014Evaluation of milk and milk product quality","volume":"154","author":"Suh","year":"2022","journal-title":"Food Res.
