Preface
53rd International Congress of Meat Science and Technology, Beijing, China, 5–10th August 2007
On behalf of the scientific and organizing committee of the 53rd International Congress of Meat Science and Technology, it is my great honor to present this Special Issue of Meat Science containing the manuscripts of invited speakers for the Congress. The topics addressed by the invited speakers focus on meat safety, meat production, muscle biochemistry, meat quality and nutrition, meat processing and meat products respectively. The latest research findings and the current research issues in the above aspects are generally covered. We trust that this special issue will promote the international communication of research in meat science and technology. I would like to give my sincere thanks to all the authors who have contributed their masterpiece manuscripts. My utmost appreciation goes to Dr. Howard Swatland – without his kind help, effective editing and hard work, we cannot image how we could fulfill this task. I also like to thank Prof. Weili Zhang for his coordination and Ms. Wendy Hurp of Elsevier publishers for her kind cooperation.
