Summary

A REGRESSION EQUATION FOR THE LINEAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSIOLOGICAL WATER AND PROTEIN CONTENTS OF FROZEN AND DEEP-FROZEN CHICKENS WAS ESTABLISHED TO CHECK WATER UPTAKE. THESE INVESTIGATIONS WERE PRIMARILY AN EXTENSION OF A STUDY OF DANISH CHICKENS, PUBLISHED IN 1974. IN A RECENT INVESTIGATION THIS STUDY WAS REPEATED TO SEE IF THE AMOUNT OF PHYSIOLOGICAL WATER HAD CHANGED. THIS APPEARED TO BE THE CASE, PARTICULARLY FOR LARGE BIRDS. THE NEW REGRESSION FORMULA HAS BEEN USED TO DETERMINE THE EXTRANEOUS WATER CONTENT IN FROZEN CHICKEN CARCASSES WITH A KNOWN WATER UPTAENOR THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE 2 SETS OF FIGURES WAS FOUND TO BE SATISFACTORY, WHILE THE 1974 REGRESSION EQUATION ON THE AVERAGE OVERESTIMATED THE WATER UPTAKE BY ABOUT 3%.
