Objectives of the Course | |||||
The muscle and meat biochemistry course examines the detailed composition and structure of meat. This course focuses on the importance of the relationship between meat quality and biochemical changes, functional properties of meat used in meat products. In addition, it is aimed that students learn different events that occur in muscle / meat. |
