Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meat is often considered to be a central food item, once eaten, to ensure that the correct homeostatic balance of several nutrients is maintained at any age. Following the 67th International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (https://www.icomst2021.com/), which will be held on 23–27 August 2021, in Kraków, Poland, we will organize a Special Issue, which will focus on tackling the most pressing problems faced by the meat industry, and more specifically, in the topic specified below:
- Animal welfare vs. human welfare
- Innovations in animal production
- Muscle tissue biology
- Safety and authenticity in meat production
- Emerging technologies in meat processing
- Bioactive compounds from and for meat
- Meat processing: from food additives and process optimization to robotics and automation
- Sustainability in meat processing, waste management and pet food production
- Traditional meat products
- Consumer trends and food waste reduction
- Nutritional quality of meat, meat analogues, and the available alternatives
