2.4. Influence of water stirring intensity on carcasses water
uptake
This study was performed by promoting water agitation by injecting compressed air at different rates.
The used conditions were (a) without air injection (NA, no agitation),
(b) 50% open valve (IA, injection of compressed air, 2.4m3 of air per hour) and
(c) 100% open valve (MIA, maximum injection of compressed air, 4.8m3 of air per hour).
The WR and IA condition was evaluated for two different temperatures: 1±1 and 15±1 ◦C.
