abstract
Spiraling energy and labor costs have resulted in an increased interest in boning the unchilled carcass or more commonly called, hotboning. Economic advantages overwhelmingly favor hotboning, however, the inability to quality grade the carcass; lack of postmortem chilling systems; and other disadvantages have prevented the adoption of hotboning by industry. The objective of this review is to present the advantages and disadvantages of hotboning and to report on the research that has been recently conducted. Copyright 1982, Wiley Blackwell.
