Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Food science
Animal science
Internal medicine

Roger W. Purchas focuses on Animal science, Tenderness, Quality characteristics, Surgery and Grazing. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Meat sample and Cooked meat. His Tenderness research includes elements of Food deprivation, Slaughter weight, Sensory analysis and Beef cattle.

His Quality characteristics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Breed, Live weight and Veterinary medicine. Roger W. Purchas has included themes like Longissimus dorsi muscle and Longissimus dorsi in his Surgery study. His Grazing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Fodder, Lotus and Lotus corniculatus.

His most cited work include:

An assessment of the role of pH differences in determining the relative tenderness of meat from bulls and steers (195 citations)
Effects of growth potential and growth path on tenderness of beef longissimus muscle from bulls and steers. (145 citations)
Further investigations into the relationship between ultimate pH and tenderness for beef samples from bulls and steers (142 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Food science, Tenderness, Quality characteristics and Carcass weight. His work deals with themes such as Pasture and Anatomy, which intersect with Animal science. He has researched Food science in several fields, including Linoleic acid, Taurine and Vitamin E.

His Tenderness research integrates issues from Semimembranosus muscle, Intramuscular fat and Myofibril. His studies deal with areas such as Weaning and Longissimus dorsi as well as Quality characteristics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Beef cattle, Loin, Longissimus muscle and Carcass composition in addition to Carcass weight.

He most often published in these fields:

Animal science (53.06%)
Food science (24.49%)
Tenderness (18.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

Food science (24.49%)
Animal science (53.06%)
Tenderness (18.37%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Food science, Animal science, Tenderness, Intramuscular fat and Biotechnology. His research in the fields of Palatability and Essential oil overlaps with other disciplines such as Individual animal and Food composition data. His Essential oil research includes elements of Dietary lipid, Flavour, Indole test, Flavor and Large white.

A large part of his Animal science studies is devoted to Breed. Tenderness is closely attributed to Quality characteristics in his work. Longissimus muscle is closely connected to Anatomy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Quality characteristics.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

Quality characteristics and composition of the longissimus muscle in the short-loin from male and female farmed red deer in New Zealand. (53 citations)
Cultured meat from muscle stem cells: A review of challenges and prospects (52 citations)
A review of the development and use of video image analysis (VIA) for beef carcass evaluation as an alternative to the current EUROP system and other subjective systems. (45 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

Food science
Internal medicine
Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Biotechnology, Cultured meat, Stem cell, Tissue culture and Nutrient density. He integrates many fields, such as Nutrient density and engineering, in his works. He integrates Polyunsaturated fatty acid with Nutrient content in his research.
