Abstract

Eggs are livestock products that are easily contaminated by microbes either directly or indirectly with pollutants from soil, air, water and dust. Eggs if stored at room temperature only last 10-14 days, after that time the eggs undergo changes such as evaporation of water content through the pores of the egg shell which results in a decrease in egg weight, changes in chemical composition and the occurrence of dilution of egg contents. One of the efforts to extend the shelf life of eggs is to provide soaking treatment using citronella leaf extract. Citronella leaves are one of the plants that contain tannins. The most specific characteristic of citronella is antioxidants so that it can be used as a natural preservative to replace synthetic preservatives, because lemongrass contains active components such as geraniol and citranelol, these active components can play an active role so that citronella can be used as a natural preservative.
