Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
meat is a central yet problematic product in the human diet. Sometimes appreciated and valorised, sometimes banned, but always of great symbolic value, meat is at the heart of culture, economy and society. Meat consumption, in particular, has not escaped general changes, with consequences on the quantitative as well as qualitative preferences of the consumer. Quality is now, more than ever, a fundamental concept of agricultural and food policies at both the local and international level. It constitutes a major asset for economic and territorial development that helps to satisfy consumer expectations. However, meat has a short shelf life, and new preservation methods are gaining interest in preventing deterioration and consequently satisfying consumer demands by the production of healthier meat products. For this Special Issue, we are interested in studying pre- and post-mortem factors and the preservation methods in order to improve the quality and shelf-life of meat.
