Cet ouvrage en impression à la demande sera envoyé sous 3 semaines environ (France métropolitaine) et dans un colis séparé en cas de commande avec un autre livre papier.Depuis une dizaine d'années, de nombreuses études questionnent notre consommation d'aliments d'origine animale. Les impacts de l'élevage sur l'environnement, les effets sur la santé humaine d'une consommation excessive de viande rouge et de charcuterie ainsi que les préoccupations d'éthique envers les animaux ont fait évoluer l'image de ces produits. Peu de travaux ont cependant analysé leur qualité dans ses différentes dimensions. C'est ce que propose cet ouvrage qui reprend les principaux enseignements d'une expertise scientifique collective coordonnée par INRAE en 2020. Il caractérise conjointement les propriétés organoleptiques, nutritionnelles, sanitaires, technologiques, commerciales, d'usage et d'image de ces aliments.Embrassant toute la chaîne de fabrication de l'aliment, il pointe les facteurs d'élevage et de transformation influant sur la qualité et souligne les possibles antagonismes ou synergies entre les dimensions de la qualité et entre les différentes étapes de l'élaboration du produit. Les auteurs comparent, par ailleurs, les engagements spécifiques des produits bénéficiant de signes de qualité (bio, Label rouge, AOP, IGP, STG).

This unique publication for the first time brings together scientists from academia, government and industry to discuss the role of omega-3 fatty acids in health, the need to reintroduce them into the food supply, the methods by which this can be accomplished and the state of research. With the domestication of animals, there has been a change in animal feeds, which in turn transformed the composition of meats, particularly the content of essential fatty acids. Changes similar to those in meats have occurred in the composition of eggs, poultry and in fish from aquaculture. Up-to-date reviews on the role of omega-3 fatty acids in health, cardiovascular disease, bone remodeling relative to osteoporosis and in patients with retinitis pigmentosa emphasize the need for a balance of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the food supply. The reintroduction of omega-3 fatty acids into food products is discussed, and the methods involved in their production as well as their metabolic effects on human beings and companion animals are outlined. Overall, the papers presented indicate the necessity to establish recommended daily intakes for both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Furthermore, there is a need to redefine food safety; changes in food composition must also be taken into consideration. This unique publication is a valuable source for physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, veterinarians and agriculturalists, as well as for all those concerned with aspects of food production, food technology, food policy and consumer issues.
