The higher the scalding temperature, the better feathers are loosened from the follicles. However, it also has the most effect on the skin: the outer skin layer, also called the epidermis, will also loosen and will be removed by the plucker. This leads to lighter skin, which is a product preference in some countries. It is generally not recommended to combine hard scalding with air chilling because the skin will discolor unfavorably due to dehydration in the air-chilling room.
