Unconventional methods for the preservation of meat products and their impact on human health and the environment

Abstract

The purpose of food preservation is to prolong shelf life and shelf life and to keep the product unchanged. People have for centuries perfected various preservation techniques to find the perfect methods to ensure microbiological safety of food while maintaining nutritional value and taste values. Currently, promising methods for fixing meat products include: high pressure technology, ultrasound, pulsating electric and magnetic fields, pulsating light flux and low-temperature plasma. These methods not only make it possible to obtain food with a long shelf life, safe for health and without preservatives, but also are safer for the natural environment compared to traditional methods.
