Meat Biomarkers

Biomarkers are indicators that can be objectively measured and evaluated to reflect normal biological processes, pathological conditions, or pharmacological responses. These indicators encompass molecules, biochemical substances, cells, genes, imaging, or physiological signals, which are capable of reflecting the body's health status, disease progression, or therapeutic outcomes. Meat biomarkers specifically refer to biological molecules or chemical components that indicate the quality, safety, and freshness of meat. These biomarkers include microbial metabolites, oxidation products, metabolites, and protein degradation products. MtoZ Biolabs offers comprehensive meat biomarker analysis services, which can assess meat freshness through the detection of metabolites and oxidation products, identify microbial contamination by detecting microbial metabolites, and evaluate the nutritional value and edible quality by analyzing protein degradation products and metabolites.
