Processing, Preservation, and Quality Evaluation for Meat and Meat Products

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue titled 'Processing, Preservation and Quality Assessment of Meat and Meat Products' aims to comprehensively elaborate on the innovative techniques and methods employed in the processing and preservation of various meat products, including an assessment of their overall quality. Manuscripts focusing on innovative preservation methods to prolong shelf life and enhance the flavor of meat and meat products are highly desired. Additionally, studies pertaining to environmentally friendly processes that convert meat into products characterized by both safety and high nutritional value are also welcome. Product quality assessment may encompass physicochemical and microbiological analyses, as well as evaluations of consumer acceptance.

This Special Issue is designed to aid food scientists and technologists in developing a diverse range of high-quality meat products that align with consumer preferences and market demands.
