Invloed verpakking op kwaliteit van eieren

Adequate packaging may be a strategy to increase egg shelf-life and protect the product. When eggs are inadequately packaged, the albumen’s biochemical reactions occur faster and eggs become liable to contamination and to a shorter shelf-life. In an experiment, researchers at the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais in Brazil packaged 50% of the eggs with a chloride polyvinyl (PVC) film whilst the other 50% did not receive any package.
They found that PVC packaged eggs evidenced a better yolk index when compared to that of eggs without any package, regardless of the other variables like storage time and temperature. An article about the research is published in Acta Scientiarum. Animal Sciences.
