The Effect of Ethanol Propolis Extracts on Inhibition of Growth of Fusarium solani on Hen Eggs

The inhibition of growth Fusarium solani mold on the shells coated table hen eggs a ethanol extract propolis was investigated. Hen were inoculated with F. spores and then at concentration 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10% using spray method. stored room temperature for 28 days. Weight loss color checked during storage. tested CIELab Propolis found to inhibit eggshells. A reduction three log cycles in number molds observed extract. Coating slowed down limited weight loss. No statistically significant changes parameters sensory characteristics storage eggs. There slight smell Spraying can help improve microbiological safety terms anti-mold protection.
