Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9921429A1] The invention relates to a method for chilling of a carcass after slaughtering. The carcass is submerged into a chilling medium in the form of brine or slush ice with a temperature below 0 DEG C. The chilling may take place without shell freezing (temperature between -2 and -4 DEG C) or with shell freezing (temperature between -4 and -12 DEG C). Considerably less energy is required for this process than for traditional air chilling of slaughter-warm pig carcasses, and the process can be carried out in considerably shorter time.
