In conclusion, broiler carcass scalding method did not have a significant impact on broiler fillet quality.
However, broiler carcass chilling method significantly influenced meat lightness on the ventral side, water holding capacity, and texture of breast fillets.
In regard to meat quality traits, there were no interacting effects between scalding and chilling methods in the current study.
Thus, data suggest that the quality impact of broiler carcass chilling method is not influenced by scalding.
