Sustainable Meat Production and Processing

Sustainable Meat Production and Processing is a resource of 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, trying to optimize industrial performance and reduce environmental impact. The 12 most trending topics of sustainable meat processing and meat by-products management are included as well as advances in ingredient and processing systems for meat products, techno-functional ingredients for meat products, proteins recovery from meat processing by-products, applications of blood proteins, artificial meat production and possible uses of processed slaughter co-Products. In addition, the book covers preferred technology for sustainable meat production, natural antioxidants as additives in meat products, as well as facilitators and barriers for foods containing meat co-products.
