“…In our present study, the control noncoated eggs did not show any significant differences in Haugh unit due to different storage positions during the 5 weeks of storage, except for 4 weeks. However, Orel & Musil (1956) observed that eggs placed small‐end down resulted in a higher albumen index than those placed small‐end up or in a horizontal position after storing for 10 days at 25 °C. The average albumen index value of eggs placed small‐end up and in horizontal position was lower by 6–7% and 14.9%, respectively, than that of eggs placed small‐end down.…”

“…(1962) reported that eggs stored small‐end up had higher average Haugh units than those of eggs stored small‐end down or in a horizontal position. In these two studies, the effect of storage position on the albumen quality of eggs was evaluated with noncoated or oilcoated eggs stored for a short period, such as 10 days at 25 °C (Orel & Musil, 1956) or 3 days at 10 °C (Goodwin et al. , 1962).…”

Effects of chitosan coating and storage positions (small-end down, small-end up or horizontal) on internal quality and shelf life of eggs were evaluated during 5 weeks of storage at 25°C. Compared with noncoated eggs, all chitosan-coated eggs, irrespective of storage positions, had significantly lesser weight loss, higher Haugh units and higher yolk index throughout the storage. Chitosan coating, irrespective of storage positions, extended the egg shelf life by at least 3 weeks at 25°C compared with noncoated eggs. Noncoated and chitosan-coated eggs placed small-end down tentatively showed better quality than eggs placed smallend up after 3 and 4 weeks of storage. After 5 weeks of storage, storage positions did not significantly affect quality of noncoated and chitosan-coated eggs. There were no notable differences in total amino acid content of the albumen and fatty acid composition of the yolk between noncoated and chitosan-coated eggs after 5 weeks of storage.

“…that holding eggs large end up resulted in the poorest centering of the yolk. Orel and Musil (1956) noted that albumen index was 6 to 7$ lower for eggs stored with the small end down. Analysis of variance of the results showed this difference to be significant.…”

DISTR:SUTION ITATEMENTThis docujnent has been approved for public release and sale; its distribution ie unlimited. II. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 12. spoNsoRiNO MILITARY ACTIVITYUS Army Natick Laboratories Natick, Massachusetts OI76O IS. ABSTRACTFederal Specification!C-E-271 entitled Eggs, Shell^requires that not more than jf> can be packed with the small end of the egg up. The inability of some egg packers to consistently comply with the tolerance prompted an investigation to determine the importance of the position of the egg on quality after shaking to simulate transportation and long term Btorage.Three experiments were conducted. In each experiment one-half of the eggs were stored with the small end down and one-half with the small end up. For experiment 1 the eggs were stored quiescently for up to 6 months. For experiment 2 one-half of the eggs were shaken for 3*5 hours prior to storage. The eggs were stored for up to 7 weeks. For experiment 3 one-third of the eggs were stored quiescently, one-third were shaken for 2.5 hours and one-third were shaken for 7.5 hours prior to storage for up to Ik weeks.•'Results.*-show that without shaking the storage time influences the deterioration of the quality of the eggs to a greater extent than the position of the egg does. 1 Results of experiments 2 and 3 indicate that shaking is, in general, the most important factor and storage time and position of the eggs assume a less important place in -influencing changes in egg weight, albumen height, and quality score. However,-the inter! or quality, as measured by the amount of deterioration found, was better maintained in the eggs stored small end up. Shaking of the eggs resulted in more deterioration than in eggs not shaken./ Based upon the results of this study the requirement restricting the percentage of eggs that may be packed small end up will be disregarded and will be deleted from the specification in future revisions of the document.
