ABSTRACT



The aim of this work was to study coating variables which may effect on vitamin B2 (riboflavin) concentrations when eggs are stored at or above refrigeration temperature. Two duplicate experiments were conducted to determine: (1) the effects of strains of hens (white or brown shelled eggs) on vitamin B2 levels of eggs; (2) the relationship between storage conditions (storage temperature and humidity); and (3) the effects of coating methods (waterglass, lime and 90 mg/kg paraffin) on vitamin B2 levels of eggs.

Key words: vitamin B2, egg preservation, paraffin, waterglass, lime..
