Abstract

It is generally known how important meat and meat products are to human health. There has long been a desire to produce steaks, chops and oven roasts from whole carcasses, but this has proven to be impracticable due to the number and distribution of connective tissues and fat in the animal's body. Instead, the meat must be disassembled and reconstructed into boneless products. This goal has been attempted through the production of boneless cuts or by grinding the muscles into a relatively uniform mass, but these methods either could not be employed for all cuts or lacked the distinctive structure of steaks and roasts that made them appealing for the human diet. It is frequently claimed that eating meat and meat products causes colon cancer and cardiovascular illnesses. Researchers and food producers all around the world are working to change the composition of meat to improve the quality of meat and meat products. Consumers now prefer beef products with less fat, less sodium, more fibre, and fewer synthetic chemicals due to changing circumstances and increased understanding. The restructured beef product has several advantages, including affordability, low fat content, and caloric value.
