Effects of packaging methods on the quality of heavy metals–free preserved duck eggs during storage

Preserved eggs without adding heavy metals in the pickling solution (heavy metals–free preserved eggs) have been developed, but it was found that the undesirable phenomenon such as dry shrinkage and fading occurred when they were not packaged and stored at room temperature. In this study, the effect...

description Preserved eggs without adding heavy metals in the pickling solution (heavy metals–free preserved eggs) have been developed, but it was found that the undesirable phenomenon such as dry shrinkage and fading occurred when they were not packaged and stored at room temperature. In this study, the effects of 5 packaging methods on the quality of heavy metals-free preserved eggs during storage were systematically studied. These methods included storage at room temperature and 4°C without packaging, wrapping with plastic bags, paraffin coating, and vacuum package. Through adopting these 5 packaging methods, the results showed that the moisture content and pH of the albumen decreased continuously, the mass loss rate increased continuously, the content of total volatile basic nitrogen increased firstly and then decreased, and the albumen hardness increased continuously. No microorganisms were detected in all samples with the 5 packaging methods during storage. Among them, the uncoated preserved eggs suffered the most serious moisture loss and mass loss, and the pH dropped at the fastest rate, followed by the preserved eggs wrapped in plastic bags. Preserved eggs stored at low temperature tended to turn yellow during storage, and the albumen showed higher hardness. The packaging method of paraffin coating performed the best in preventing the moisture loss of the albumen and the weight loss, which only decreased by 0.34 and 1.24%, respectively, after 3 mo. The best springiness, the darkest color, and the highest sensory score were found in the vacuum-packed preserved eggs after 3 mo of storage. It was concluded that paraffin coating and vacuum packing had better effect, while plastic bag packing showed the worst preservation performance for heavy metals–free preserved eggs.
