Abstract:Cantonese-style meat products are an important part of Cantonese cuisine. Most Cantonese-style meat products taste bland, focusing on presenting the natural flavor of meat through cooking. However, globalized diet has led to a demand for improved processing technologies for traditional Cantonese-style meat products. Sensory analysis is an important and irreplaceable tool for food procedures to conduct quality control in food processing and to understand consumer demand for products. Sensory analysis-directed food processing has become a new tendency for the future development of traditional Cantonese-style meat products. This article summarizes the current status of the application of sensory analysis in the development and quality control of traditional Cantonese-style meat products. We hope that this review will further stimulate the popularization and application of sensory analysis-directed food processing in the industrial production of Cantonesestyle meat products.
