The food industry is coming up with more marinated meat and
poultry products all the
time. And most consumers are happy they are.

For food processors who want to be up-to-date on the latest
developments, the
University of Georgia will conduct a "Poultry and Meat
Marination Technology
Shortcourse" July 12-13 in Athens, Ga.

The program includes both lectures and demonstrations.
Sessions will cover the science
behind marinade retention in muscle, shelf-life extension,
marination systems and
procedures, packaging and quality assurance.

The program starts at 7:45 a.m. July 12. It ends at 4:30 p.m.
July 13. A $595 fee
covers materials, luncheons, breaks and a reception and
dinner.
