AMSA is pleased to announce, Drs. Nuria Prieto, Mohammed Kamruzzaman, and Chris Calkins will be the featured speakers in the symposium entitled “Sensors for Monitoring Quality and Safety of Meat and Meat Products in Supply Chain” on Wednesday, August 18, 2021 during the 74th AMSA Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC) hybrid meeting. This session will be sponsored by American Foods Group.
Dr. Nuria Prieto, Meat Quality and Sensory Chemometrics Research Scientist at the Lacombe Research and Development Centre of the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, will kick off this keynote session with a talk titled “Prediction of Carcass, Meat and Fat Quality Using Sensing Technologies.” Meat consumption patterns are continuously evolving in our societies shifting preferences and consumer purchase behavior. Consumers’ demand for quality and competition for the global market have increased interest in novel technologies to guarantee quality in meat production and provide a better understanding of the livestock products and markets trends. Dr. Prieto will focus on new and emerging robust sensing technologies for prediction of carcass, meat, and fat quality, which play an important role in ensuring a more resilient meat value chain and satisfying consumer demands and needs.
