Characterization of microbial contamination of retail washed and unwashed shell eggs in Taiwan

Molecular diagnosis of hen eggs microbiota

“…Eggs laid by hens have an increased risk of harboring pathogenic bacteria due to myriad ways of contamination. Bacteria are horizontally transmitted into chicken eggs while the eggs are still inside the oviduct of the hen before being laid [17]. However, infections were found spreading vertically from one bird to the next in a chain of birds while they were still laying eggs, especially when birds are close to one another.…”

Synthesis of hydroxyapatite from eggshellsviawet chemical precipitation: a review

“…52,59 The EU also considers that washing eggs within production line steps can lead to cuticle thinning and damage to eggshells, increasing the risk of contamination with external bacteria and hindering the shelf life of the eggs. 60 Most eggshell waste is discarded without further processing by sending it to landll at a cost of more than $40 a ton depending on the location of the landll. 44,[61][62][63] In recent years, the syntheses of HA from natural sources has been extensively studied by researchers.…”

Supplementary Treatment of Wastewater by Using Ecological Lime Derived from Eggshell Waste: a New Sustainable Strategy for Safe Reuse

“…Additionally, eggshells possess a porous structure and organic compounds, such as proteins, that enhance their adsorption properties by improving pore filling and complex interactions with adsorbates. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of eggshells as adsorbents for removing organic and inorganic pollutants from various sources, including water, wastewater, soil, and gas emissions (Hsu et al, 2023).…”
