New Aspects of Meat Quality, Second Edition continues to be the leading source of scientific information for what constitutes meat quality for consumers, marketers and producers in the 21st century. The book includes traditional measures of meat quality such as texture, water holding, color, flavor/aroma, safety/microbiology and processing characteristics as well as quality assurance schemes, organic/free range, ethical meat production, and the desirability of genetically modified organisms, amongst others. Users will find comprehensive coverage on developments in our understanding of how muscle structure affects the eating qualities of cooked meat, along with techniques for measuring, predicting and producing meat quality. In addition, the book covers how these new techniques help us minimize variability in eating quality and/or maximize value. The book's final section identifies the current qualities of consumer and public perceptions and what is sustainable, ethical, desirable and healthy in meat production and consumption. - Provides the latest research techniques and developments presented by top researchers in the field - Covers new aspects of meat quality with the same scientific authority as texts on traditional meat quality value - Includes five new chapters that cover the role of proteolysis, meat flavor, meat bi-products, and meat and public health

Traditional Mediterranean fruits (i.e., be grapes, oranges, apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, figs, melons, watermelon and dates) are of major commercial and nutritional value to the region. Processing of such fruits, however, results in large amounts of bio-waste material. Efficient, inexpensive and environmentally friendly use of fruit industry waste is thus highly cost-effective and minimizes environmental impact. The natural antioxidants and bioactive compounds found in Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes could play a major role in the alleged health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, and could be used in pharmaceuticals as well as novel food applications. This book presents a multidisciplinary forum of discussion on the chemistry, functional properties and health-promoting effects of bioactive compounds in Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes, as well as novel food and non-food applications. The text provides the scientific fundamentals of the health-promoting benefits and applications of Mediterranean fruit bio-wastes, reviews the relevant recovery issues and explores different techniques to develop new applications. With a diversity of perspectives, from food science to environmental chemistry and horticultural research, this volume provides comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge to researchers and industry professionals working in the areas of food waste valorization.

“Chickens are a lot more mainstream than veganism and a little bit like kombucha: super weird twenty years ago, now somewhat popular and made even more so by logos, brands, and hashtags.” So begins Gina Warren’s deep dive into the backyard chicken movement. Digging into its history and food politics, she provides a highly personal account of the movement’s social and cultural motivations, the regulations it faces, and the ways that chicken owners build community. Weaving together interviews with urban agriculture advocates, entrepreneurs such as a $225 per hour “chicken consultant,” animal rights campaigners, and a fabulous cross-section of chicken enthusiasts, Warren sheds light on Americans’ complex relationship with animals—as guardians, companions, and eaters—and what it means to be a conscious eater. As Warren chronicles her own misadventures raising chickens, her pursuit of what’s best for her own flock leads past chicken tutus and gourmet chicken treats and into serious attempts at sustainable eating, such as cooking insects and dumpster diving. The result is a fresh and charming story that speaks to backyard chicken owners, while also raising questions about sustainable farming, industrial agriculture, and our connections with the animals we love.
