Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Meat is favored by consumers because it is delicious, nutritious, and possesses other dietary advantages; however, it is easily corrupted in the process of sale, storage, transportation, etc., due to the infection and proliferation of spoilage microorganisms, resulting in serious food waste and food safety problems. In view of the unclear laws on meat spoilage, its mechanisms of action, and insufficient preservation strategies, research and innovation in meat packaging, preservatives, and preservation technologies are needed.
The aim of this Special Issue of Foods is to gather and display cutting-edge research on raw meat and prefabricated meat dishes, reveal the laws and mechanisms of spoilage, and develop novel fresh-keeping packaging films (active, intelligent, multifunctional, etc.), edible and nano fresh-keeping coatings, multi-model modified-atmosphere packaging, green preservatives, efficient fresh-keeping technology, freshness-sensing labels, novel spoilage bacteria prevention, and control means, shelf-life prediction models, etc. Clear and concisely written manuscripts are highly desirable and appreciated.
