Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate whether water chilling had effect on water retention, freshness or internal temperature of chicken carcasses during chilling or storage in two different chicken processing plants (designated as A and B). A total of 240 carcasses from chicken processing plants (n = 120 per chicken processing plant) was randomly sampled and evaluated the effect of water chilling on carcass characteristics (i.e., water retention, water loss or freshness during chilling or storage). Torrymeter value was used as an indicator of freshness in chicken carcasses. Water chilling did not affect carcass water retention between the processing plants. However, chicken carcasses processing in B plant exhibited significantly higher freshness (p<0.05) compared with those in A plant. This difference in freshness was mainly due to the longer transit time through the water chiller in A versus B plants. Water loss of carcasses during storage was not different between plants. It was found that carcass freshness can be affected by water chilling time as manifested in this study. Further study is warranted to see whether freshness or microbiological status of chicken carcasses may be affected depending on the chilling methods, i.e., air or water chilling.

본 실험은 닭고기 가공 공장별로 침지냉각에 따른 닭 도체의 수분 흡수율 및 감소율 그리고 신선도를 측정 비교하여 품질의 균일화 제고를 위하여 실시하였다. A도계장과 B도계장 닭고기 가공 공장에서 1회 각 40수씩 3회에 걸쳐 총 240수에 대하여 수분 흡수율 및 신선도를 측정하였으며, 수분 흡수율 실험이 완료된 도체에 대하여 개체 포장, 운송하여 실험실 냉장고($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)에 입고 후, 저장일별 수분 감소율 및 신선도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 수분 흡수율은 A도계장 4.8%, B도계장 4.2%로서 유의적인 차이는 발견되지 않았다. B도계장 실험 도체의 신선도가 냉각 전후 모두, A도계장 실험 도체보다 신선도가 유의적으로 높게 조사되었다. 저장일별 수분 감소율은 A도계장 실험 도체와 B도계장 실험 도체 사이에 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 저장일별 신선도는 A도계장 실험 도체가 B도계장 실험 도체에 비해 낮게 조사되었다. 결론적으로 수분 흡수율은 chiller의 길이나 침지시간에 크게 영향을 받지 않으나, 수분 감소율은 침지 시간, 수온 및 심부 온도의 영향을 받는 것으로 예측되었다.
