Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue of Foods, we welcome the submission of manuscripts, both original research and review articles, related to innovative processing and preservation technologies that ensure the quality, safety and/or nutrition of meat and meat products. Consumer interest in meat and meat products remains strong globally; however, there is increased awareness and concern for the safety, nutrition, and sustainability of these products. The meat industry has responded by developing and implementing innovative technologies for the engineering, formulating, manufacturing, thermal processing packaging, and delivery of meat and meat products.
This Special Issue welcomes submissions of novel works, reviews and short communications that address innovative strategies to improve the quality, safety and nutrition of meat and meat products; innovative food ingredients that improve the safety, quality, shelf life, nutrition or sensory attributes of meat and meat products; innovative manufacturing technologies that are energy-, water- and resource-efficient; or technologies that improve shelf life and minimize food waste and loss of meat and meat products throughout the supply chain.
