Foodborne infections and intoxications are major problems in developing countries, including India. Issues such as quality and food safety are of great significance from a public health point of view. In today’s modern and busy world, consumers want safe, hygienic and wholesome foods with optimum nutritional content. Health-conscious consumers demand that no extraneous ingredients be added to food and that nothing natural be removed from it. Food and food products with poor quality in production and distribution systems have negative impacts on consumers, resulting in poor market value.
Production of wholesome pork and pork products needs regular
monitoring of the microbiological, physico-chemical and eating quality traits
for safety and quality assurance. To achieve an acceptable level of food
safety, it is necessary to provide a quality assurance system based on Hazard
Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) in the areas of food security, disease
monitoring and reporting, food-borne pathogens screening and traceability.
The book entitled “SCIENTIFIC PORK PRODUCTION AND
PROCESSING” comprises of twelve chapters covering various aspects of scientific
slaughtering, grading, value addition for enhanced profitability, quality
control of pork and pork products, utilisation of slaughterhouse by-products
for additional income generation and contributing to environmental welfare,
importance of HACCP and traceability to support information tracking at
operational level as well as in diagnostic analysis and strategic decision
making at managerial level, etc. We benignly hope that the hope this book is
widely read and the pig producers, manufacturers of pork and pork products,
traders, academicians, students, policy planners and those who are associated
with the pork value chain will benefit from this publication.
