Meat Processing
Meat is both a major food in its own right and a staple ingredient in many food products. With its distinguished editors and an international team of contributors, Meat processing reviews research on what defines and determines meat quality, and how it can be maintained or improved during processing.Part one considers the various aspects of meat quality. There are chapters on what determines the quality of raw meat, changing views of the nutritional quality of meat and the factors determining such quality attributes as colour and flavour. Part two discusses how these aspects of quality are measured, beginning with the identification of appropriate quality indicators. It also includes chapters on both sensory analysis and instrumental methods including on-line monitoring and microbiological analysis. Part three reviews the range of processing techniques that have been deployed at various stages in the supply chain. Chapters include the use of modelling techniques to improve quality and productivity in beef cattle production, new decontamination techniques after slaughter, automation of carcass processing, high pressure processing of meat, developments in modified atmosphere packaging and chilling and freezing. There are also chapters on particular products such as restructured meat and fermented meat products.With its detailed and comprehensive coverage of what defines and determines meat quality, Meat processing is a standard reference for all those involved in the meat industry and meat research. - Reviews research on what defines and determines meat quality, and how it can be measured, maintained and improved during processing - Examines the range of processing techniques that have been deployed at various stages in the supply chain - Comprehensively outlines the new decontamination techniques after slaughter and automation of carcass processing
Handbook of Meat Processing
This handbook comprehensively presents the current status of the manufacturing of the most important meat products. Editor and renowned meat expert Fidel Toldrá heads an international collection of meat scientists who have contributed to this essential reference book. Coverage is divided into three parts. Part one, Technologies, begins with discussions on meat chemistry, biochemistry and quality and then provides background information on main technologies involved in the processing of meat, such as freezing, cooking, smoking, fermentation, emulsification, drying and curing. Also included are key chapters on packaging, spoilage prevention and plant cleaning and sanitation. Part two, Products, is focused on the description of the manufacture of the most important products, including cooked and dry-cured hams, cooked and fermented sausages, bacon, canned meat, paté, restructured meats and functional meat products. Each chapter addresses raw materials, ingredients and additives, processing technology, main types of products, production data, particular characteristics and sensory aspects, and future trends. Part three, Controls, offers current approaches for the control of the quality and safety of manufactured meat products, with coverage including sensory evaluation; chemical and biological hazards including GMOs; HACCP; and quality assurance. This book is an invaluable resource for all meat scientists, meat processors, R&D professionals and product developers. Key features: Unparalleled international expertise of editor and contributing authors Addresses the state of the art of manufacturing the most important meat products Special focus on approaches to control the safety and quality of processed meats Extensive coverage of production technologies, sanitation, packaging and sensory evaluation
Meat Technology and Processing
"Meat Technology and Processing" delves into the significance of meat as a valuable source of animal protein, whether consumed as fresh or processed products. With the growing popularity of processed meat products worldwide, our book focuses on adding value to fresh meat through small-scale meat processing plants capable of producing a variety of fresh and cooked meat products. Meat is crucial for the diets of individuals, especially children and pregnant women, due to its high protein and iron content. It has always played a significant role in livestock programs, providing rich nutrients and supplements, particularly in areas lacking cold chain infrastructure. Meat processing enhances the value of these products, with Europe and Asia leading the way in technological advancements. Our book covers a range of practical topics essential for meat processing, from quality characteristics to by-product utilization. We provide detailed information on the nutritional benefits of various meats, including pork, beef, chicken, turkey, goose, and rabbit. The content reflects current global techniques used to improve manufacturing methods, making it an invaluable resource for students in the field of nutrition. Exercises are included to aid learning and teaching.
