PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for cooling a broiler carcass, by which the chest portion and the leg portion of the broiler carcass can quickly be cooled at optical temperatures giving the best processing yields, respectively, in a deboning machine, thereby enhancing washing and sterilizing effects in the coelom to provide the highly sanitary meats.;SOLUTION: This method for cooling the broiler carcass, comprising cooling an empty carcass obtained by removing internal organs from the broiler carcass, is characterized by dividing the empty carcass into the chest portion and the leg portion in a large dressing process, and then cooling the chest portion and the leg portion at temperatures of ≤10°C. The chest portion and the leg portion are preferably cooled at temperatures of ≤10°C so that the temperature of the cooled chest portion is relatively higher than the temperature of the cooled leg portion. Especially, the temperature of the cooled chest portion is preferably 8 to 10°C, and the temperature of the cooled leg portion is preferably 0 to 2°C. Since the empty carcass is divided into the chest portion and the leg portion in a large dressing process, an opened portion larger by about 20 times than an anus portion can be ensured in the division portion of the chest portion, and the inside of the coelom can easily be washed and sterilized.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
