Program stream: Growth and global competitiveness
Project number: 2024-1109
The trials found that pleura could be easily removed, and it is rich in proteins 97.5 per cent post-processing, particularly collagen and elastin, which are valuable for advanced wound care and pet food markets. Using pleura for these applications could unlock significant economic opportunities for the red meat processing industry and enhance the eating quality of lower-value meat cuts.
