This collection features six peer-reviewed reviews on optimising
key quality attributes in poultry products. The first chapter
considers recent research on enhancing the nutritional quality of
poultry meat, focussing primarily on increasing the meat's
polyunsaturated fat content. The second chapter describes different
mechanisms and chemical compounds responsible for poultry meat
flavour and off-flavour development. The chapter also reviews how
these compounds can be manipulated to enhance flavour. The third
chapter provides a comprehensive overview of 20 years' worth of
research on understanding the genetics and genomics of meat quality
traits in poultry species. The fourth chapter reviews the main
factors affecting poultry meat colour and includes a case study to
demonstrate how packaging can influence poultry meat colour and
lipid oxidation. The fifth chapter addresses the role and influence
of egg appearance and colour on consumer preferences and purchasing
decisions, focussing on the shell, albumen and yolk. The final
chapter reviews the use of molecular breeding techniques to improve
internal and external egg quality, including whole-genome methods,
such as genome-wide association studies and genomic selection.
