Histogram representing L*, a*, and b* value distribution in broiler flocks processed in air- and water-chilled plants using Nix Color Sensor. (A) Average L* at air-chill plant was 39.5 and 43.5 at water-chill plant (P < 0.001, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, n = 1,700); (B) Average a* at air-chill plant was 0.88 and 0.34 at water-chill plant (P < 0.001); (C) Average b* at air-chill plant: 2.14 and 1.46 at water-chill plant (P < 0.001). L* value greater than 43 using Nix was categorized as PSE meat.
