Applied Muscle Biology and Meat Science

Beschreibung

Knowledge of muscle biology is continuing to expand in the food sciences industry, especially the understanding of the mechanisms that control skeletal muscle development, growth, and their impacts on meat production and quality. Applied Muscle Biology and Meat Science provides agriculturalists with state-of-the-art information and a platform to further explore this specialized topic. It also gives novices a comprehensive knowledge base in applied muscle biology and meat science. Many existing problems in meat science and production are due to a lack of understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms of the livestock. Careful to avoid gory processing details, the text focuses on biological changes and the appropriate management techniques for meat animals.
