There is no "centrifuging" of air in a turbine engine. Unless you consider free turbine engines which generally use a centrifugal compressor, but then these have no bypass! Centrifuging in a bypass jet engine just does not occur!

When I last took a bird, it most definitely WAS centrifuged (and diced).
