Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meat, such as pork, beef, and chicken, is an important source of essential nutrients, including high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The importance of meat quality cannot be overstated, as it encompasses a wide range of factors that impact human health, consumer satisfaction, economic viability, and environmental sustainability. Moreover, customers are calling for meat products that show excellent sensory and nutritional value. In this regard, nutritional optimization, advanced compositional profiling, and technology-assisted sensory evaluation are of great importance. It should be noted that excessive processing can damage the composition, nutritional value, and sensory quality of meat. However, it is still difficult to achieve a balance between processing efficiency and these factors. Therefore, plenty of additional work needs to be performed. We sincerely invite submissions to this topic of the “Nutritional Manipulation, Composition Analysis, and Sensory Evaluation of Meat”.
