Carcasses receiving 60°C water treatment
or higher exhibited a partially cooked appearance.
In a subsequent study, Morrison and Fleet (1985) found
that carcasses immersed in 60°C water (no treatment) for
10 min had 100-fold reductions in Salmonella contamination.
Additionally, by incorporating 200 ppm chlorine or
2.5% potassium sorbate into the 60°C immersion water,
significantly greater reductions were noted than with water
alone.
