Summary

A research has been carried out in three industrial slaughterhouses chosen so to be representative of Italian heavy pig industry. The results have shown that hot cutting has no negative effects on bacterial levels of exposed muscular surfaces. On the meat quality side hot cutting improves colour of internal muscles as a consequence of quicker chilling and, therefore, slower post mortem glycolysis.
