The only place to hear about the meat industry.

This week we sit down with two outstanding food safety leaders in the meat industry. Dr. Randall Phebus and Dr. Darin Detwiler from Kansas State University and Detwiler Consulting Group, respectively, discuss about the evolution of Food Safety and HACCP.

In this episode we fly all the way to Spain to visit Viscofan, the world leader in the production of casings in the meat industry. We sat down with Alberto Lorés Guerrero who is an expert in the application of cellulose casings, collagen, and artificial casings for sausage manufactures.

For our last conversation during the Reciprocal Meat Conference 2021, we invited Dr. Elisabeth Lonergan to talk about her most recent work on the effect of supplementing minerals on meat quality.

This week we share our microphone with Dr. Colle to discuss the effect of extended aging times on beef subprimals on tenderness and other quality attributes. To optimize tenderness, the meat industry utilizes aging as a practice to ensure a good eating experience, but in some cases, there are certain beef cuts that undergo more than 21 days of aging.

This week we feature two members of the K-STATE Meat Science group to talk about palatability and one of their most recent research comparing plant-based products to ground beef. Dr. Travis O'Quinn and MS Sam Davis discuss about their findings and how consumers preferred ground beef over plant-based beef alternatives.
