Summary

Influence of temperature (4-5 and 30 deg C) and air velocity on the quality of meat. A theoretical model describing the evolution of the temperature of carcasses as a function of the cooling method is presented. Meat quality has not been affected by the cooling method, except for the variables related to meat tenderness.
