Summary

BROILER CARCASSES WERE CHILLED IN EITHER 5% SODIUM CHLORIDE ICE SLUSH FOR 4, 8, 12 OR 16 HR, OR WATER-ICE SLUSH FOR 16 HR. THE DATA INDICATED THAT 4 HR BRINE-ICE SLUSH CHILLING SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED TISSUE CHLORIDE CONCENTRATION, WATER HOLDING CAPACITY AND TENDERNESS OVER THE RESPECTIVE VALUES OBTAINED FROM 16 HR WATER-ICE SLUSH CHILLED CARCASSES. SARCOMERE LENGTH OF THE 16 HR BRINE-CHILLED SAMPLES WAS SHORTER THAN THAT OBSERVED FOR WATER-CHILLED SAMPLES. BRINE CHILLING DID NOT AFFECT WATER UPTAKE OR PERCENT MOISTURE OF RAW MEAT.
