Advances in innovative postharvest egg pasteurization and disinfection technologies to optimize egg safety and quality
摘要
Eggs and egg products include several products that are commercialized worldwide. These terms include but are not limited to whole eggs, liquid whole egg (LWE), liquid egg white, liquid egg yolk, yolk powder, white powder, and frozen egg, among others.The composition of these products also varies widely depending on the country. In the United States, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) defnes the composition and physicochemical characteristics of the most common egg products (2020). These changes in the composition of the egg products are important to consider because the inactivation or survival of microorganisms will be affected by the increase or decrease in acidity and the presence of solutes like salt or sugar, among others.
