  • Chlorine dioxide spray process for chilling meat carcasses
    Patent number: 4021585
    Abstract: In chilling freshly slaughtered hog carcasses the bleaching effect of a bactericidal spray is eliminated by the use of chlorine dioxide in a concentration sufficient to inhibit the protein synthesis mechanism of bacteria. The concentration required for this purpose, which may be in the range of 5 to 25 parts per million (ppm), is so small that it produces very little if any oxidation; hence the characteristic bleaching effect of chlorine dioxide is avoided. The skin color of carcasses so sprayed is unaffected by the process.
