Modern‐day processing of meat products involves a series of complex procedures designed to ensure the quality and safety of the meat for consumers. As the size of abattoirs increases, the logistical problems associated with large‐capacity animal processing can affect the sanitation of the facility and the meat products, potentially increasing transmission of infectious diseases. Additionally, spoilage of food from improper processing and storage increases the global economic and ecological burden of meat production. Advances in biomedical and materials science have allowed for the development of innovative new antibacterial technologies that have broad applications in the medical industry. Additionally, new approaches in tissue engineering and nondestructive cooling of biological specimens could significantly improve organ transplantation and tissue grafting. These same strategies may be even more effective in the preservation and protection of meat as animal carcasses are easier to manipulate and do not have the same stringent requirements of care as living patients. This review presents potential applications of emerging biomedical technologies in the food industry to improve meat safety and quality. Future research directions investigating these new technologies and their usefulness in the meat processing chain along with regulatory, logistical, and consumer perception issues will also be discussed.

将新兴的生物医学技术集成到肉加工中，以提高肉的安全性和质量

肉类产品的现代加工涉及一系列复杂的程序，旨在确保消费者的肉类质量和安全。随着屠宰场规模的增加，与大容量动物加工相关的后勤问题会影响设施和肉类产品的卫生，并可能增加传染病的传播。此外，由于加工和储存不当造成的食物变质增加了肉类生产的全球经济和生态负担。随着生物医学和材料科学的发展，已经开发出了在医疗行业具有广泛应用的创新抗菌新技术。此外，组织工程和生物标本的无损冷却的新方法可以显着改善器官移植和组织移植。这些相同的策略在肉类的保存和保护方面甚至可能更加有效，因为动物尸体更易于操作，并且没有与活着的患者一样严格的护理要求。这篇综述介绍了食品工业中新兴生物医学技术在提高肉类安全性和质量方面的潜在应用。还将讨论调查这些新技术及其在肉类加工链中的用途以及监管，物流和消费者认知问题的未来研究方向。这些相同的策略在肉类的保存和保护方面甚至可能更加有效，因为动物尸体更易于操作，并且没有与活着的患者一样严格的护理要求。这篇综述介绍了食品工业中新兴生物医学技术在提高肉类安全性和质量方面的潜在应用。还将讨论调查这些新技术及其在肉类加工链中的用途以及监管，物流和消费者认知问题的未来研究方向。这些相同的策略在肉类的保存和保护方面甚至可能更加有效，因为动物尸体更易于操作，并且没有与活着的患者一样严格的护理要求。这篇综述介绍了食品工业中新兴生物医学技术在提高肉类安全性和质量方面的潜在应用。还将讨论调查这些新技术及其在肉类加工链中的用途以及监管，物流和消费者认知问题的未来研究方向。
