Preservation of Intact Eggs by Sealing With Chemical Agents

An Electrophoretic Study of Chicken Egg Albumen

“…Romanoff and Yoshok (1948) we re able to show th at ce rta in chemi ca l agen ts aided somewhat in the retention of egg quality and pH when they were applied to th e she l l . In a late r study Yosho k and Roma noff (1949) showed that the use of plastics is very effective in t he ma intena nce of egg qualit y.…”

The Effects of Some Acidic and Alkaline Atmospheres on the Changes in pH and Haugh Units in Chicken Eggs

“…In this same study it was reported that a carbon dioxide environment increased the hydrogen ion concentration of an egg. Romanoff and Yushok (1948) reported that the adding of acids to mineral oil as an oiling agent decreased shell permeability, kept pH low and retarded quality losses. It was also shown that varying amounts of carbon dioxide were necessary to hold pH at a constant level.…”
