Abstract

The comparative efficacy of treatments with egg coating oil (developed at CFTRI) and lime water for preservation of shell eggs at room temp. has been studied. The results indicate that the oil coated eggs, maintained a higher Haugh unit score, albumen index, yolk index, percentage of thick albumen and a lower loss in egg wt. and less variations in pH, percentage of yolk, per cent solids of albumen and yolk, than the lime water treated eggs during storage. The control (untreated) group showed considerable deterioration in internal quality and were unfit for consumption after 28 days of storage.
