Multivariate study of the decontamination process as function of time, pressure and quantity of water used in washing stage after evisceration in poultry meat production

It makes clear that multivariate statistics appears as a valuable tool for designing and implementing quality control systems, demonstrating that the contamination decreases significantly due to the effect of the washing stage and the water pressure. Time and amount of water variations do not affect the microbiological variables except for the Pseudomonas, which are affected by the amount of water and time variation but not by pressure variation.
