Abstract

The keeping quality of raw and pasteurized liquid egg at different storage temp. was studied. Raw liquid egg (of chicken or duck) could not be stored for 8 h at room temp. (30 degree C) or at 37 degree C, due to rapid proliferation of the bacterial flora and prolonged storage which resulted in coagulation of the material. At 10 degree C raw liquid egg could be held for 24 h, without appreciable increase in the bacterial load. Pasteurized liquid egg could not be stored even for 1 h at 30 degree C or above. At 10 degree C, pasteurized liquid hen egg could be held for 48 h and that of duck for 72 h, during which period the bacterial numbers remained more or less stationary.
