Effect of detergent type on egg quality deterioration parameters during storage

In egg production, washing prior to packaging is essential to reduce microbial risks without compromising quality. This study evaluated the impact of detergent treatments on egg quality during storage. A total of 1,080 one-day-old eggs were randomly assigned to nine treatments (unwashed, Bioxi2, Bioxi6, Lacti600, Lacti800, Det500, Det800, Ton200, Ton500) and stored for 35 days. Every seven days, eggs were analyzed for weight, Haugh units, albumen height, shell strength and thickness, yolk color, height, diameter, and yolk index. Results indicated that AA grade eggs were most susceptible to deterioration: storage time significantly reduced Haugh units and albumen height, with detergents modulating albumen height. Shell strength and thickness varied by treatment, with Det500 reducing strength, while Bioxi2, Lacti800, and Det800 enhanced it; Det800 also increased thickness. Yolk height and index declined across treatments, whereas yolk diameter showed complex interactions among storage, tr..., A total of 1,080 one-day-old Hy-Line W-80 eggs all with a uniform extra size (64,5 ± 2.02 g) were selected from a YAMASA ECB-9642 classifier-washer machine and randomly assigned to one of nine treatments: unwashed (Control), Bioxi2, Bioxi6, Lacti600, Lacti800, Det500, Det800, Ton200 and Ton500. Each detergent was prepared by dilution in 20 L of water, starting with the lowest concentration, and applied by spraying inside the classifier-washer machine. This was followed by the application of Poweroil Pearl L85 spray to accelerate drying. After detergent application, the eggs from each treatment were packed in trays of 20 eggs (6 trays / treatment), sealed with porous plastic, and stored at 25 °C for 35 days. Starting from the first day of storage, every seven days one tray from each of the nine treatments was randomly selected, and 12 eggs were further chosen at random from each tray.

**Description:** In egg production, washing prior to packaging is essential to reduce microbial risks without compromising quality. This dataset compiles the impact of detergent treatments on egg quality during storage, clarifying their influence on product quality and shelf life. This study was conducted without external funding, as a private initiative exploring new alternatives for egg washing.
