Smoking not only can improve the sensory characteristics of meat products, but also can maintain their storage quality. In order to effectively improve the safety and simultaneously enhance the flavor and color of smoked meat products, it is necessary to develop more scientific new smoking techniques based on the traditional one such as liquid smoking and water vapor permeable bags. This paper reviews the mechanism of smoke generation, the principle of smoking, the factors affecting smoking and the chemical composition of smoke, with focuses on the effects of smoking on the flavor and safety of meat products.
