Sustainable Meat Production and Processing [Paperback]

Sustainable Meat Production and Processing presents current solutions to promote industrial sustainability and best practices in meat production, from postharvest to consumption. The book acts as a guide for meat and animal scientists, technologists, engineers, professionals and producers. The 12 most trending topics of sustainable meat processing and meat by-products management are included, as are advances in ingredient and processing systems for meat products, techno-functional ingredients for meat products, protein recovery from meat processing by-products, applications of blood proteins, artificial meat production, possible uses of processed slaughter co-products, and environmental considerations.

Finally, the book covers the preferred technologies for sustainable meat production, natural antioxidants as additives in meat products, and facilitators and barriers for foods containing meat co-products.

• Analyzes the role of novel technologies for sustainable meat processing
• Covers how to maintain sustainability and achieve high levels of meat quality and safety
• Presents solutions to improve productivity and environmental sustainability
• Takes a proteomic approach to characterize the biochemistry of meat quality defects
