Demand for protein is continuously increasing and despite advances on research and development of alternative protein sources, animal protein still holds a key role in the supply of this essential nutrient. Approximately half of the live weight of animals raised to produce meat (circa 54-56% of the bovine and 48% of the porcine) is categorized as âthe fifth quarterâ, commanding lower market values than prime meat cuts. From the sustainability as well as from the protein quality points of view, it makes sense to explore the available sources of high quality protein already available, but not utilized to its fullest potential. We summarise here current opportunities for aggregating value to some of these protein-rich co-products from the meat processing chain, underpinned by research advances on both technical and social aspects. The work is part of a large research initiative looking at the exploration of Irish meat processing streams for recovery of high value protein based ingredients for food and non-food uses â the ReValueProtein (www.revalueprotein.com) project.
