Hi All,

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of any peered review literature on the following:

 

I want to know at what levels Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide need to be set at to inhibit microbial growth and maintain egg quality of hard boiled eggs.

 

The process provides a final pH of around 2.5 eggs are placed in brine solution, cooked etc so microbial isolation at final product is <100 SPC.

 

Is a level of 50% CO2 and 10% O2 appropriate?

Your process may reflect on the final outcome of your product.

I suggest contacting your local gas supplier, and they may supply suggested gas combinations.

I also recommend to conduct a shelf life study on such process, it will protect you, and also provide you data on your results.
