Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development

The center focused on the development of new meat products and processing technologies, including:

• Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) pasteurization of meat surfaces.
• Low-fat lamb chops, beef steaks, pork chops, and bacon.
• Processing technology to reduce fat content of raw meat.
• Processing technology to bond meat to bone.
• Combining UHT with electron beam radiation technology to produce sterile meat products.
• UHT pasteurization combined with High-Temperature Aging (HTA) to produce tender steaks and roasts from the cheaper, less tender primal cuts of beef carcasses.
