Abstract Yak is one of the rare and rare cattle-related species that grow in the alpine region above 3 000 meters of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. At present, there exist only 16 million yaks in the world, of which more than 15 million (over 95%) are growing in China. The country has the largest number and variety of yaks in the world. Owing to the unique growing environment of yaks, yak meat has superior nutritional quality and processing characteristics compared to yellow cattle meat, such as high protein, low fat, and abundant amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Currently, researchers are committed to improving the flavor of yak meat jerky, extending the storage period and developing new flavors of yak meat. This paper reviews the latest progress in the characteristics of yak meat jerky and modern processing and preservation technologies for yak meat jerky as well as the development status of new processed yak meat products.
