Processing and Curing Meat

The activities of the meat sector may be divided into three stages - slaughtering, meat cutting and further processing. Each stage involves completely different technical operations which must not be viewed as separate and independent processes. There are significant interactions between the stages and shortcomings at one stage can have a serious negative impact on the product or process in a subsequent stage. They may influence technological, biochemical or microbiological aspects.   --  FAO
