Red meat (lamb and beef) are important global commodities and as such, industry must deliver safe and quality product to often distant end-users – to do otherwise would incur substantial market access and economic penalties.
This project aimed to study the effect of different chilled-then-frozen storage durations on red meat quality. This entailed two staggered and complementary experiments (including two simultaneous replicates) testing lamb and beef respectively.
