Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING MEAT CARCASS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/034677
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to shorten a long aging time required for meat processing and reducing
the viable cell count of a carcass before cooked, an electric stimulus is imparted
by applying an ac voltage from electrode rails (1, 2, 3) to the neck, chest and legs
of the meat carcass respectively. The ac voltage is turned on for a time Ton and
then turned off for a time Toff and the application of the voltage is repeated a
predetermined number of cycles. Ton is not longer than Toff, the voltage is not
higher than 100V and the frequency is not higher than the commercial frequency
(maximum, 60 Hz). A needle (51) for chest is supported by a metal support (52) and
brought into pressure contact with the electrode rail (2), and a needle (53) for
neck is supported by a metal support (54) and brought into pressure contact with
the electrode rail (1) through a meal support (57). Legs of the meat carcass are
energized by the electrode rail (3). Aging effect is improved by stimulating
the entire meat carcass electrically from at most three points.
