Abstract

Abstract:

As an important part of human diet， meat is becoming more and more important with the development of social economy and the improvement of living standard. At present， consumers' demand for meat products is no longer limited to basic nutrition and hygiene requirements， they pay more attention to the health， taste and flavor of products， and the omics technology provides scientific means for meat quality evaluation （meat color， pH， water holding capacity， tenderness， free amino acids， intramuscular fat， etc.）. The review introduced the concept and research strategies of omics technology， summarized the application progress of omics technology in meat quality evaluation， in order to provid reference for further improving meat quality by using omics technology.

Key words: meat quality, physical, chemical, omics technology

摘要：

肉类作为人类饮食中的重要组成部分，其重要性随着社会经济的发展和人们生活水平的提高而日益凸显。目前，消费者对肉类产品的需求不再仅限于基本的营养和卫生要求，而是更加注重产品的健康性、口感和风味，组学技术为肉品质评价（肉色、pH、系水力、嫩度、游离氨基酸、肌内脂肪等）提供了科学手段。介绍了组学技术的概念及其研究策略，总结了组学技术在肉品质评价中的应用进展，以期为进一步利用组学技术提高肉的质量提供参考。
