EBLEX Meat Quality Masterclass a success
EBLEX Meat Quality Masterclass a success
Delegates representing both large-scale producers and smaller independent organisations took part in the inaugural EBLEX Meat Quality Masterclass, which offered people working in the meat industry the chance to improve their technical knowledge over two days.
Dr Peter Sheard, who delivered the training with EBLEX specialists, said: “The aim was to help industry personnel to improve their technical knowledge. We did this by exploring the factors that affect meat quality, in particular tenderness, flavour and colour.
“Science is behind everything and our food is no different. By applying that mind-set to meat, we have been able to break down the factors involved in controlling the quality of meat, and develop techniques to ensure we can achieve the best possible results. This masterclass was a great opportunity to share that with some key industry representatives.”
Dr Phil Hadley, EBLEX head of supply chain business development, added: “We anticipated that there was a gap in the market for this kind of training, and the response has certainly confirmed that is the case. The course attracted some key industry representatives and will add value to that part of the supply chain.”
Following the success of the initiative, another two Masterclasses are planned for later this year.
