Abstract
Additional data are presented confirming that the relationship between shell deformation under a selected non-destructive force and the force at fracture is non-linear during quasi-static compression of eggs. The results show that the prediction of fracture force (F) from a non-destructive deformation (D) is better than that obtained from egg specific gravity or shell thickness readings. The prediction obtained was improved by logarithmic or quadratic transformations. Equations of the form: F = a – b log D and F = a – bD + cD2 accounted for 74% of the variation in shell fracture force where a, b and c are constants. Addition of specific gravity and shell thickness did not improve these predictions significantly.
