Egg Product Yield Trends From Shell Eggs

ANNEX G Pasteurization of Liquid Egg Products and Shell Eggs

Recovery of Salmonella from commercial shell eggs by shell rinse and shell crush methodologies.

Salmonella is the most important human pathogen associated with shell eggs. Salmonella Enteritidis is the serotype most often implicated in outbreaks, although other serotypes have been recovered from eggs and from the commercial shell egg washing environment. Many sample methods are used to recover microorganisms from eggshells and membranes. A shell rinse and modified shell-and-membrane crush...

Microbial contamination in inoculated shell eggs: II. Effects of layer strain and egg storage.

Three Ottawa control strains and a current commercial laying stock were reared and housed in the same environment. Eggs were collected at 5 different hen ages throughout the 2 production cycles of the flock. The eggs were inoculated with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE), Pseudomonas fluorescens (PF), a combination of the 2, or sterile buffered peptone water and stored up to 5 wk. After storage at ro...

19 Eggs and Egg ProductsProcessing

Eggs play an important role in the human diet and nutrition as an affordable nutrient-rich food commodity that contains highly digestible proteins, lipids, minerals, and vitamins (Fisinin et al., 2008). Over the past 35 years, global egg production has grown 203.2%, due to a rapidly increasing demand for proteins in the developing world (Windhorst, 2007). In 1970, the US was the greatest egg pr...

Probabilistic model for contamination of egg dishes with Salmonella spp. made from shell eggs produced on the island of Ireland.

A quantitative model was constructed to estimate the probability that a serving of food containing eggs produced on the island of Ireland is contaminated with Salmonella spp. The model is based on the prevalence of contaminated eggs at the time of lay and a set of parameters which describe the pooling of eggs in the home and in catering situations. Both external and internal contamination of th...
