The Effectiveness of Post-Harvest Processing on Microbiological Safety of Game Meat – A Systematic Review

This Excel file contains the dataset used for the systematic review entitled “Processing Game Meat: Strategies to Mitigate Microbiological Risks – A Systematic Review.”

The dataset includes bibliographic and analytical information extracted from peer-reviewed scientific publications selected according to the review’s inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The data were collected through a structured literature search and screening process and are used to support the qualitative and comparative analysis presented in the review.

The Excel file is organized into multiple columns reporting, where applicable:
– author(s) and year of publication
– country of study
– type of game meat
– processing or post-harvest treatment applied
– microbiological hazards investigated
– main outcomes and findings related to microbiological safety

The dataset serves as the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of post-harvest processing strategies in reducing microbiological risks associated with game meat and ensures transparency and reproducibility of the systematic review.
