Thesis Title
Studies into factors responsible for the acceptability of pork on the Singaporean market

Ms Leong investigated novel methods of manipulating components of pork quality with the long-term goal of devising and characterising production and processing systems that satisfy consumer demands in Singapore while being profitable for the New Zealand pork industry. She achieved this by imposing treatments on pigs or pork that were expected to enhance pork quality and then quantifying the effects in terms of consumer acceptability in the market place, sensory analysis by trained panels, and selected aspects of product composition.
