An experiment was undertaken to study the effect of exposing incubating embryos to short ultrasonic pulses across the intact egg shell. Three minute exposures to 2.25 MHz. pulses, average incident intensity equals 28.6 mW./cm.2, failed to show any effect on embryonic mutation, hatchability, sex ratio, or body weight. On the average the ultrasonic absorption of the egg shells ranged from 26 dB./mm. at 0.6 MHz. to 100 dB./mm. at 2.25 MHz. The transmitted power incident on the blastodisc, consisting mainly of spectrum components below 1.0 MHz., was estimated at congruent to 1% of the incident power.

“…The eggshell may undergo surface erosion or thickness reduction. Dawson et al (1962) and Wladyka et al (1963) found that ULT vibrations caused the cleaning solution to penetrate the eggs. ULT can trigger small, almost invisible cracks in the shell that affect eggshell characteristics such as porosity.…”

“…Several methods such as fumigation, spray application, UV light and egg washing, and chemical agents have been developed for sanitizing hatching and table eggs (Scott & Swetnam, 1993;Berrang et al, 2000;Wilson, 2002;Coufal et al, 2003). In addition, ultrasonic waves (ULT) have been investigated as a method of cleaning eggs and controlling pathogenic organisms (Dawson et al, 1962;Wladyka et al, 1963;Giarola et al, 1970;Sert et al, 2011;Aygun & Sert, 2012). Heath et al (1980) used a combination of ULT and acetic acid to clean eggs, and Slapp (1995) used a combination of ULT and a bactericide to sanitize hatching eggs.…”

________________________________________________________________________________ AbstractTwo trials were conducted to investigate the effects of exposing layer-type breeder eggs before incubation to ultrasonic waves (ULT). Eggs were subjected to ULT of 117 volts at 40 kHz for up to 15 minutes. Eggshell breaking force (EBF), hatchability and chick hatching weight (CHW) of Balady breeder eggs (Trial 1), and egg weight loss, embryo weight, hatchability and CHW of Leghorn hen eggs (Trial 2) were measured. In Trial 1 the eggs were subjected to seven treatments: non-dipped (control), and dipped for 5, 10 and 15 minutes in a water bath (W5, W10 and W15) or a ULT bath (ULT5, ULT10 and ULT15). In Trial 2 the eggs were subjected to four treatments, a control (ULT0) and the ultrasonic treatments, ULT5, ULT10 and ULT15. In treatments ULT10 and ULT15 the EBF of Balady eggs was significantly reduced while the hatchability of the Balady and Leghorn eggs was significantly reduced by the ULT15 and W15 treatments, compared with the control. Orthogonal contrast (control vs. ULT) indicated that ULT exposure of eggs reduced their EBF significantly. Percentage egg weight loss, embryo weight and CHW was not affected by the treatments. It was concluded that exposure of eggs to ULT of 117 volts at 40 kHz for 15 minutes reduced EBF and hatchability of layer-type breeder eggs without altering egg weight loss, embryo weight or CHW.________________________________________________________________________________

“…Dawson et al (1962), Wladyka et al (1963), and Giarola et al (1970) reported that ultrasonic vibration cleaned eggs effectively, but Dawson et al (1962) and Wladyka et al (1963) found that such vibration caused the cleaning solution to penetrate the egg. Interior quality was not damaged as a result of exposure to ultrasonics for varying lengths of time and intensities: 1 to 10 min at 10, 40, and 400 kc/sec (Dawson et al, 1962); 25, 45, and 85 kc/sec (Wladyka et al, 1963), and 5.6 MHz for 3 hr (Giarola et al, 1970).

Ultrasonic Vibration as an Aid in the Acetic Acid Method of Cleaning Eggs ,

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of ultrasonic vibration as an aid to the dilute acid method of cleaning eggs. It is expected that ultrasonics could increase the efficiency of cleaning by reducing the length of time the eggs are exposed to the acid solution. To determine whether ultrasonics could be beneficial, penetration of the cleaning solution into the egg, shell thickness, shell cleanliness, interior quality, and microbial, organoleptic, and functional properties were measured.Shell penetration was less, as a result of ultrasonic vibration, when the egg and acetic acid solution were the same temperature (22 C) at time of washing than when the eggs were 22 C and the solution was either 12 or 32 C. When egg and cleaning solution were 22 C, no cleaning solution penetrated the shell after 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 sec of exposure but penetration increased after 160 and 320 sec of exposure.No differences (P>.05) in shell thickness resulted from cleaning in 1, 2, or 3% acetic acid with ultrasonic vibration for 30, 60, 120, and 240 sec, and the shell thickness of eggs so treated did not differ (P>.05) from that of commercially washed eggs. All three solutions produced clean eggs at each exposure time, and their cleanliness was comparable to that of commercially washed eggs.No differences (P>.05) in Haugh units were caused by length of exposure to the cleaning solution and by exposure to ultrasonics. After 4 weeks storage at 22 C only eggs exposed to ultrasonics in the 1% solution had lower (P<.05) Haugh units than those washed without ultrasonics; however, their average grade was still Grade A.After storage for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks at 23 C eggs washed in 3% acetic acid with and without ultrasonics had one log cycle less (P<.05) total plate count than untreated eggs. When taste panel. sponge cake height, or form stability data were analyzed, no differences (P>.05) were found to have been caused by ultrasonic vibration during washing with 3% acetic acid.
