The requirement for real-time monitoring in the modern and highly automated food processing environment has stimulated research into rapid microbiological testing. This review will concentrate on the search for a rapid detection system for the microbial spoilage of meats that has been ongoing since at least the 1970s. The metabolic processes and bacteria involved within the microbial spoilage o...

For decades, research in muscle biology has been focused on enlarging skeletal muscle mass, which increases the quantity of meat production. It has been well established that myogenic cells are derived from multipotent mesenychmal stem cells (MSC). During the embryonic and fetal stages, muscle fibers are formed through the fusion of myogenic cells; enhancing the proliferation and myogenic diffe...

The demand trend for Halal meat and meat-based products among Muslims worldwide has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, the awareness non-Muslims of is due to their high quality safety, thus resulting more access them. Due technological advancements processing sector, adulteration fraud have grown widespread financial gain that can be realized. issues associated with created an opportunity re...

Nineteen Listeria monocytogenes strains were characterized by automated ribotyping, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, and plasmid profiling to determine the relationship between genotype and sanitizer resistance. Isolates within a ribogroup had a consistent sensitivity or resistance phenotype except for ribogroup C isolates. All isolates with resistance phenotypes harbored two plasmids. The sen...

Regulation based on Continuous Control Monitoring could reduce the administrative burden for companies. Often, companies already have elaborate internal control and quality management systems. Instead of periodic physical inspections, regulatory supervision can partly be automated and performed on a continuous basis. The regulator gets access to a validated copy of key data elements from the co...

This article examines the role of migrant workers in meat-processing factories in the UK. Drawing on materials from mixed methods research in a number of case study towns across Wales, we explore the structural and spatial processes that position migrant workers as outsiders. While state policy and immigration controls are often presented as a way of protecting migrant workers from work-based e...

Federal and state legislators recently enacted policies to fund new renovated small local meat processors expansion with the aim of increasing meat-processing sector's resiliency. Wages must be competitive attract employees for these plants competitive. No previous studies have examined what has happened employee labor costs at United States (US) since early 2000s. This study estimates how firm...

Antimicrobial packaging, an active packaging concept, can be considered an extremely challenging technology that could have a significant impact on shelf-life extension and food safety of meat and meat products. Use of antimicrobial substances can control the microbial population and target specific microorganisms to provide higher safety and quality products. Many classes of antimicrobial comp...

The pork industry is naturally segmented into producers, packers and retailers. The question is what can producers do to produce pigs that will yield pork that consistently meets market demands? What are market demands? Previous demands for leaner meat have driven the reduction of fat in pork and consumer demand for “normal” pork has driven selection of pigs without the halothane gene and now t...
