Meat Products

Chemistry, Consumption and Health Aspects
Meat and meat products have been consumed by humankind throughout time, and the rise of industrialization and mass production in the past century has made them more affordable and available. At the same time, meat and meat products have been blamed for causing cancer and degenerative diseases. Information regarding this has been often blatantly controversial, leading to misinterpretation, uncertainty, and fake news. Rethinking the role of meat in human nutrition is a present challenge for the food industry. To address this, we must look towards green and clean technologies that adhere to the fundamental principles of environmental care. This book includes comprehensive reviews of hot topics relating to meat products. The reader will find current information and scientific evidence about emerging technologies, modern trends and future perspectives on the subject, with emphasis placed on chemical and health aspects. The COVID-19 pandemic has proved that we cannot continue with business as usual. The inevitable consequences of "the old normal" (zoonotic disease, antimicrobial resistance, climate change and food insecurity) will not revert. As we move into the next decade and beyond, we need a more healthy, sustainable and fair food system. This book aims to contribute to build a better scenario for subsequent consumer generations. Today more than ever, food scientists are leading actors in the international scene.
