Abstract
Flavour is an important sensory aspect of the overall acceptability of meat products. The overwhelming effect of flavour volatiles has a tremendous influence on the sensory quality of muscle foods. However, the taste properties of high molecular weight components and contribution of non-volatile precursors to the flavour of meat should also be considered.
