Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meat has long been a vital component of human diets worldwide, providing numerous benefits essential for health and well-being. It is a primary source of high-quality, complete proteins, offering all the essential amino acids necessary for muscle development, tissue repair, and maintaining overall body functions. Beyond its protein content, meat delivers critical vitamins, particularly B-complex vitamins such as B12, which play a key role in red blood cell production, proper nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Additionally, meat is abundant in essential minerals like iron, in its highly bioavailable heme form, as well as zinc and selenium, which are indispensable for oxygen transport, immune system support, and antioxidant protection against cellular damage.
This Special Issue emphasizes the importance of applying innovative technologies to safeguard and enhance the safety and quality of meat and its products. Researchers and professionals are invited to contribute original studies, numerical analyses, and comprehensive reviews, focusing on the latest advancements and applications of non-destructive methods. By showcasing cutting-edge research and emerging solutions, this initiative aims to address key challenges in the meat industry, ensuring that products meet rigorous standards while maintaining their nutritional and functional properties for consumers worldwide.
