Abstract
Eggs are foods with almost perfect proteins, while also containing nutrients with high biological value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the morphological structure, physical-chemical, nutritional, and microbiological parameters of commercial and free-range eggs sold in the municipality of Santarém, State of Pará, Brazil. The two types of eggs were also compared to check for any differences in quality. The evaluations were conducted on variables such as Haugh unit, weight loss, egg width and length, specific gravity, yolk and albumen dimensions, pH, among others. A total of 240 eggs were purchased in the Brazilian municipality of Santarém (2º45’06” S and 54º70’09” W). A statistical study was also performed using the BIOESTAT 5.0 statistical program. A comparison of the industrial and free-range eggs and their various parameters is given in the tables along with the coefficient of variation. The results obtained were satisfactory and showed that the quality of eggs is affected more by environmental factors than by the source from which they are obtained. The results were also compared to previously published literature, and it was determined that this study offers a better foundation for the nutritional examination of egg quality.
期刊介绍:
A Revista Brasileira de Ciência Avícola surgiu em 1999 a partir da necessidade que a comunidade científica possuía de um periódico para veiculação e publicação de seus trabalhos, com a publicação de três números anuais.
A Revista conta hoje com um corpo editorial altamente qualificado e com artigos científicos desenvolvidos pelos maiores especialistas da área, o que a cada dia atrai mais leitores em busca de inovação e respaldo técnico.
Devido à credibilidade que conquistou pelos esforços de sus autores, relatores e revisores, a Revista ganhou caráter de coleção, sendo consultada como fonte segura de estudo desenvolvidos na Avicultura.
A partir de 2003 – volume 5 -, a Revista passou a chamar-se Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, e todos os trabalhos passaram a ser publicados em inglês. No mesmo ano subiu para quatro o número de revistas por volume, ampliando-se assim os trabalhos publicados anualmente.
