Abstract
INCREASED use of egg washing machines for cleaning soiled eggs along with persistent reports of spoilage among such eggs when stored has resulted in considerable attention being focused on the effects of washing on egg quality, particularly on stored eggs.Jenkins et al. (1920) reported marked increases in bacterial spoilage during cold storage in experimentally washed eggs that had been sponged with a damp cloth; washed directly in water; or similarly washed and rinsed in 0.25 percent sulphuric acid. They also found that unwashed dirty eggs contained more spoiled eggs than did clean eggs, but only about half the number found in washed eggs. Wagner (1936), Moran (1939), and Funk (1948) presented data showing that washing increased spoilage in stored eggs. Bryant and Sharp (1934) found bacteria in as many unwashed dirty eggs as in washed eggs. Bryant and Sharp (1934) as reported by Pino (1950) point out that the .
