The first thought that seems as if there was little to guide the housewife in the selection of eggs, it becomes very difficult to tell from the outside view or whether they are not fresh or stale. As a rule, he must trust the honesty of people from whom he purchased from the egg. He still does not have to depend entirely on the agency's words, to, at least to a certain extent, there is a May rate the quality of her eggs. Because of the value of eggs as food and for cooking purposes, it is important for the mother of the household that uses all available information about this and, in addition, be familiar with the trade practices in the egg industry.
As is generally known, a large number of hens lay eggs in the spring of year, but they are not ready to put in the cold winter months, and not alone is the greatest number of eggs produced in April and May, but they are placed in this time is the best quality. Because of this situation and in order for the needs of this scarcity may be provided, it is necessary that many of the number of eggs preserved when they are relatively cheap and abundant. In addition, in their eggs for use in the future, it is very important in conditions that are stored and how to best possible, so that when they are in use, hours after they are placed, they may be better to have them as possible. Advance made in the method of storage and transportation in the last few years has been done to create a uniform supply of eggs all year around. Not long ago, because of inadequate storage facilities and shipping, the eggs are sold only a short distance from the place where they are produced. However, with the coming of cold storage and improve the method, the eggs have been changed from the temporal and more ill-timed for the staple food of one. Now they may be to gather in large numbers, to keep them for enough time before they sell, and to ship them long distances. To protect the public, however, authorities have set a time limit for the storage of eggs, the law while they may still be 8 weeks. This meant that the eggs are placed in the warehouse in May should be released or sold in December, while those who are saved must be released in June at the latest January.
Eggs that have been stored too long in storage marked with the taste and smell musty, in violation of the yellow egg and mixing with white, and white-water conditions. Such as eggs, of course, can not be sold legally. That can be placed on the market that are in accordance with the freshness, cleanliness, size, cracks, and color. With the exception of their freshness, these points can be said of the simple appearance of the eggs, but, to determine whether an egg is fresh or not, in general, through a process known as candling, with the condition of the interior of eggs that can be ascertained. In grading eggs, all of them the best size, color, and condition that are sold under the trade name and bring a high or low prices, according to the grading. Others are not so perfectly placed in another class and sell it to the price varies according to demand. Eggs, of course, different in appearance and in many cases they are sorted in order to meet the demand. For example, in some areas, the brown egg shell sellforthe the highest price, while in other places, have a white shell eggs in a large demand and bring the highest price. Unsorted eggs not held in many good and not so good a price as those that one color. Many people have the idea that the color of an egg shell bears some of the nutritive value and taste. However, the authorities agree that the food in other things similar, the edible portion of white-shelled eggs hasessentially the same composition and nutritive value as a dark-shelled eggs.
Natural quality of eggs is highly dependent on food hens and conditions of their lives. Because of this, the selection, maintenance and care of fowls have been developed into a science, especially since the production of eggs has become an industry. When the quality of their own will be determined, all the characteristics of the eggs have to be a consideration, there is still one point which depends on the quality of the eggs, and that they are fresh. Various institutions, but will continue to work to make this low quality. Head is among the molds and bacteria that pass through the porous shell eggs that have had cause to be treated or allowed to remain contaminated by unclean surroundings. As bacteriaare responsible for the uncomfortable feeling that is found in bad eggs. Because harmful effects, every effort should be made to prevent the entry of bacteria that cause decay, and, as already stated, the best way to do so where this is to protect the shell. If the bacteria have been found in, the eggs will become unfit for use quickly, but their growth is prevented. This can be done to save the eggs at a temperature that will continue to be dormant bacteria, or lazy.
If the eggs are stored under the right conditions, they will not really spoil for a long time, but it is not rare that they are more or less affected by any of the storage period covers several months. One of the changes that are always in search of eggs in the air space in the wide end. When the first egg is laid, the air space is small, but because the water contained in the eggs slowly evaporates through the porous shell was increased in size as the eggs grow staler. Therefore, the freshness of eggs that can often be determined by the size of this air space. In addition, for the purpose of the eggs used are those who are affected by storage. A tired of eggs, even though may not actually be pampered with a asfood can not be used, as it will not produce good results in the process of cooking as fresh eggs, especially if used for leavening. In fact, it is impossible to produce the desired results with the eggs, which have experienced a number of changes, even though they smell and taste does not indicate that they will be spoiled. Meanwhile, as already mentioned, the mother of the household must be very dependent on the agency's word about the freshness of eggs he purchases, it will be good for him to become familiar with the trade name of the eggs and meaning. The names that are used is different, of course, in many areas, but all the distributors and the name of the class of a lot of eggs in the same way. In deciding on the eggs belong to the class, a number of points given for olor, size, freshness, and appearance, and the total number of points to determine the grade, Ame specifically provided for each class. For example, the eggs can be called extra 90 votes fancy; people who get the value of 80, fancy; those 70 votes, is very fresh, and the people who can begraded only 60, to cook eggs. When the eggs are placed in the market under names like that, it can be expected that the quality will be in accordance with the values and prices will vary with the class. Therefore, trade names and prices are two main ways in which the quality of eggs in the market may be judged.
