Abstract

The effect of vibration, impact and dropping tests following packaging on the quality of eggs was studied. 600 eggs from White Leghorn birds were divided into 2 groups. Group (i) eggs were arranged on paper pulp moulded filter flats (305 x 305 mm) and then packed inside a wooden box. Eggs from group (ii) were also packaged in this way except that the box had an additional 5-ply fibre board lining on all sides. The containers were then subjected to vibration; impact and dropping tests and observations were made on the condition of the package, number of eggs broken and internal quality changes in the eggs. Both types of container withstood the tests. The incidence of breakage was greater in (i) than (ii). Internal quality factors such as Haugh units, albumen index and yolk index declined significantly following the tests, but the decrease in quality was less apparent in (ii) than in (i).
