- 11. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Lime water treatment • Lime water =1kg cao +20 L water • Not soluble Dissolve • Lime water filtrate • Dip eggs • Ca will deposit on shell • Holes of shell are filled with Ca • Pores are closed
- 12. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Lime water treatment • CO2excreation is retarded • Moisture loss is controlled • Barrier for microorganisms
- 13. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Water glass method • 10% solution of sodium silicate • Eggs are dipped in solution • Silica close the pores • Shelf life is increased to month
- 14. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Waxing/oil treatment • Evaporation is reduced • CO2-excretion retarded • O2 is retorted to enter • Less increase in Ph • Oil is applied as spray or dip • Life few month in cold storage
- 15. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Thermostabilization • Warm water 60Co 3-5 min • Coagulation of egg white • Pasteurize and defertilized • Solidification of white • Closing of pores in shell
- 16. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Use of Gases • Nitrogen ,carbon dioxide-inert gases • Causes cloudiness in egg white • Egg should be packed in polyethylene before the use of gases
- 17. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Drying • Remove the moisture by heat source • Egg yolk powder • Egg white powder • Hole egg powder
- 18. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Refrigeration • -1.5Co • 85% relative humidity • 8_10 month
- 19. 421 0011 0010 10101101 0001 0100 1011 Freezing • Without shell • 12Co • Microbial ,chemical and enzymatic reaction are controlled
