Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The overall purpose of this study was to determine the performance and cost of carbon dioxide snow as a coolant as compared with water ice in the shipping and storage of fresh chilled poultry. The objectives of the storage studies were to determine: (1) The relation of storage temperature, type of coolant, and box material to carcass weight loss during storage (2) The effect of type of coolant used in boxes on cutting-up loss and retail packaged product weight loss of poultry. The objectives of the commercial shipping studies were to determine: (1) The comparative cost estimates of packing and shipping dry-ice and water-ice packed poultry. (2) Temperature and carcass weight changes of dry- and water-ice packed poultry. (3) Trade reaction to dry- and water-ice packed poultry.
