In recent years, much attention has been paid to develop meat and meat products with physiological
functions to promote health conditions and prevent the risk of diseases. This review focuses on strategies to
improve the functional value of meat and meat products. Value improvement can be realized by adding
functional compounds including conjugated linoneleic acid, vitamin E, n3 fatty acids and selenium in animal
diets to improve animal production, carcass composition and fresh meat quality. In addition, functional
ingredients such as vegetable proteins, dietary fibers, herbs and spices, and lactic acid bacteria can be directly
incorporated into meat products during processing to improve their functional value for consumers.
Functional compounds, especially peptides, can also be generated from meat and meat products during
processing such as fermentation, curing and aging, and enzymatic hydrolysis. This review further discusses
the current status, consumer acceptance, and market for functional foods from the global viewpoints. Future
prospects for functional meat and meat products are also discussed.
