Green processing technology of meat and meat products: A review
https://doi.org/10.21323/2414-438X-2025-10-1-32-44
Abstract
Green processing technologies are revolutionizing the meat industry by addressing the environmental and health challenges associated with traditional meat processing methods. This review explores several novel green technologies, including high-pressure processing (HPP), cold plasma, ultrasound, pulsed electric field (PEF) processing, and fermentation. These technologies offer significant improvements in terms of energy efficiency, waste reduction, and reduction of chemical additives. This review examines their operational principles, current research findings, and emerging applications. Additionally, the review highlights the integration of these technologies, their environmental impact, economic feasibility, and regulatory landscape. The findings suggest that while green technologies hold substantial promise for enhancing sustainability in meat processing, further research and industry adoption are necessary to fully realize their potential.
