Brief overview of valorization of meat industry byproducts: Opportunities and challenges in food waste management

Sana Kausar, Abdul Samad, Ayesha Muazzam, AMM Nurul Alam, Young-Hwa Hwang, Seon-Tea Joo

Food Life 2026;2026(1):1-9.
https://doi.org/10.5851/fl.2500019

The meat industry produces significant byproducts during processing, including blood, bones, skin, fat, and offal, which have traditionally been treated as waste. These byproducts contain valuable nutrients and bioactive compounds, presenting substantial opportunities for valorization into value-added products.

Proposing standard cutting and fabrication concepts for the Korean goat industry: Anatomical, practical, and industrial perspectives

Woo-Young Son, Jun Hwang, Yu-Jeong Na, Ju-Hui Youn, Joon-Hwan Choi, Cheon-Hwang Wi, Geun-Ho Kang, Sun-Moon Kang, Han-Sul Yang, Hyun-Wook Kim

Food Life 2026;2026(1):23-31.
https://doi.org/10.5851/fl.2500030

The Korean native black goat industry is transitioning from the use of black goats for traditional medicinal purposes to meat production, driven by rising consumer demand for low-fat, high-protein, and health-oriented foods. However, standardized carcass cutting and fabrication systems are currently lacking, limiting industrial development. In this review we outline the anatomical and industrial characteristics of native Korean black goats (Capra hircus coreanae) and propose a framework for establishing species-specific cutting standards...

Food Life 2026;2026(1):33-43.
https://doi.org/10.5851/fl.2500024

Inadequate food safety and nutrition knowledge among school-aged children hampers their developing immune systems, increasing their risk of foodborne illnesses and malnutrition. This longitudinal study examined the impact of a school-based intervention on the food safety and nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of 389 randomly selected students in Kuyu District, Northtown, Ethiopia. Data were collected using pre-tested, interviewer-administered questionnaires before and after the intervention. Paired-samples t-tests were performe...
