Overview

Markus F. Miller is affiliated with Texas Tech University in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, focusing notably on Food Science, Animal Science and Zoology, and Biotechnology, among other subfields.

Their work covers a range of important topics including Meat and Animal Product Quality, Food Safety and Hygiene, Salmonella and Campylobacter epidemiology, Listeria monocytogenes in Food Safety, Sensory Analysis and Statistical Methods, Animal Nutrition and Physiology, and Identification and Quantification in Food.

Markus F. Miller has published extensively in several respected venues. Frequent publication outlets include Foods, with eleven publications, as well as the Journal of Animal Science and Meat and Muscle Biology, each with two publications. Other venues include Animals and Meat Science.

Some recent papers illustrate the breadth of their research interests:

  • In-Plant Validation of Novel On-Site Ozone Generation Technology (Bio-Safe) Compared to Lactic Acid Beef Carcasses and Trim Using Natural Microbiota and Salmonella and E. coli O157:H7 Surrogate Enumeration (2021, Foods)
  • Minor differences in perceived sheepmeat eating quality scores of Australian, Chinese and American consumers (2020, Meat Science)
  • Quantitative Bio-Mapping of Salmonella and Indicator Organisms at Different Stages in a Commercial Pork Processing Facility (2022, Foods)
