Chilling rate and tenderness of beef.

Author(s) : HALD T. L.

Type of excerpt: Book chapter

Summary

Rapid chilling of beef carcasses may be possible if freezing of thin parts is accepted. All carcasses must be effectively stimulated and chilling programmes divided into various steps using low air temperatures and high air velocity. Many investigations indicate that the tenderness will be affected negatively by rapid chilling compared to optimal chilling conditions.
