چکیده
Received at: 16/5/2015 Accepted: 15/6/2015 Storage of table eggs in refrigeration is a popular habit but it may be lead to different degree of contamination with pathogens and increase the risks of illness in humans. A total of 75 chicken table eggs (grades II) were collected from 5 farms (15 of each) in Alexandria province and which were stored in refrigerator at 5 °C. The collected eggs were divided into three groups (25 of each): 1 st group at zero time of storage (at laying day), 2 nd group after one week of storage and 3 rd group after two weeks of storage. They were analyzed for bacterial and fungal contamination on their shells and internal contents. The results of the current study indicated that the egg shells had the highest while the internal contents had the lowest load of both bacterial and fungal contamination. The isolated bacterial species were identified into E.coli, Enterobacter spp., Enterococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., Citrobacter, Pseudomonas spp. and S. aureus, while, the isolated moulds species were Aspergillusspp., Penicillum spp., Cladosporum spp., Fusarium, Rhiopus spp. and Mucor spp.

متن کاملDetermination of the quality of stripe-marked and cracked eggs during storage
OBJECTIVE Stripe marks, which occasionally occur on the shell, do not cause breakage to the shell and shell membranes of eggs. This study investigated the quality of intact eggs (IEs), minor stripe-marked eggs (MEs), severe stripe-marked eggs (SEs), and cracked eggs (CEs) during 3-week storage at 25°C. METHODS Shell eggs were collected the day after being laid and were washed. Among them, egg...
