Meat Science

Meat science is the study of how animals become meat and how to produce safe, high-quality meat products. It involves understanding animal biology, muscle biology, and the processes that occur from slaughter to final product. This field examines factors that affect meat tenderness, flavor, and safety, such as animal diet, aging, processing techniques, and storage. By applying scientific principles, meat science helps improve meat quality, ensures food safety, and develops new products to meet consumer preferences. It’s a key discipline for the meat industry to deliver nutritious, tasty, and safe meat to the public.
