ABSTRACT: Edible coatings for enhancing microbial safety and extending shelf life of hard-boiled eggs - (Journal of Food Science)
June 2, 2008 – 6:35 pmHard-boiled eggs were coated with chitosanlysozyme (CL), whey protein isolate (WPI), or Bake sheen (BS), inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella enterica Ser. Enteritidis at 104 CFU/g, and stored for 4 wk at 10 °C. Microbial populations were enumerated weekly. Two nonchallenge studies were also conducted with hard-boiled eggs: coated shell-on eggs packaged in plastic containers or peeled eggs coated and vacuum-packaged. Total plate counts (TPC), coliforms, yeasts, molds, weight loss, pH, and color of eggs were determined during the 10-wk storage at 10 °C. Uncoated eggs served as controls. All the coatings were not effective in inhibiting the growth of L. monocytogenes, but CL coating controlled the growth of S. Enteritidis. At the end of 4-wk storage, the numbers of S. enteritidis on CL-coated eggs were about 4-log10 CFU/g less than that of the controls. Coatings reduced (P
