PREREQUISITE:   Animal Science 3033 or 3333

OBJECTIVES:       After completion of the course, the Meat Processing student should be able to:

 

I.       Identify and describe the basic physical and chemical components of meat and their influence on the attributes of meat products.

 

II.       Describe the basic scientific and technological principles involved in processing and preservation of meat products.

 

III.      Describe the function, use and attributes of various non-meat ingredients in processed meat products.

 

IV.     Analyze and solve common meat processing technical problems using scientific principles and technology gained in Meat Processing.

 

V.     To incorporate proper sanitation practices while processing or performing analytical procedures to ensure wholesome products and (or) accurate results.

 

VI.     Develop a new processed meat product as well as generate a marketing campaign for this item.

 


RESEARCH PRODUCT ASSIGNMENT:

 

         Each student will be required to write a research and development product proposal.  The proposal should include a cover page, title, justification, rationale and significance or expected outcome of the proposed products, list of ingredients, equipment needed and marketing plan.  This proposal is due on April 16 by 5:00 p.m.  After developing the project outline you will then make the proposed product during the April 21 lab.  Each product will be discussed and individually evaluated on April 29.
