Grade A large eggs had the lowest average solids content (25.6%) of the grades studied and Grade C eggs had the highest (26.6%). The solids content increased during the period from December 1944 to July 1945. The total increase during this interval was about 0.5%.The average potassium chloride value of powder produced from Grades B and C eggs was higher than the value for Grade A medium eggs; Graded medium and pullet eggs produced powder better in this quality attribute than Grade A large (differences of about 2%). The use of Grade C eggs resulted in a powder with an average fluorescence value about 2 units greater than for powder from any other grade of eggs. The month of egg production affected quality measures on the resulting powder. As the season progressed there was a decrease in the fluorescence value and pH and an increase in potassium chloride value and foaming volume value.The changes noted could not be attributed to climatic conditions, but may be attributable to feeding practices and to increased age of the hen.

Dried sugar–egg powders, obtained from a commercial Canadian source, were adjusted to 1.4, 2.8, and 3.2% moisture and stored at 40°, 80°, and 120° F. from 1 to 52 weeks. Quality of the powder was assessed by measurement of fluorescence, potassium chloride value, pH, and foaming volume. The rate of deterioration increased with an increase in moisture content at 80° and 120° F. The effect of moisture content on fluorescence and potassium chloride values was negligible at 40° F., but high moisture in powders stored at this temperature accelerated the development of acidity and the loss in baking quality as assessed by foaming volume.Packing in carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and in vacuo had a slight beneficial effect on dried sugar–egg powder.

The relation between palatability and fluorescence value previously established for 33 samples of plain egg powder, was substantiated by comparisons for 118 samples. Fluorescence measurements were more readily reproduced among various laboratories than measurements of potassium chloride value. Batter density measurements were found to be a satisfactory measure of the baking quality of sugar–egg powder and were more convenient than the baking of test cakes. Particle size of spray-dried sugar–egg powder was also related to baking quality; powder falling between 50 and 200 mesh (U.S. Bureau of Standards) yielded the lightest sponge goods.

Sugar–egg powder was produced under a variety of conditions in a laboratory spray drier and in two commercial driers. A product prepared at inlet temperatures below 270° F. and outlet temperatures below 150° F. was the most suitable for baking purposes and was generally the best when assessed by measurements of fluorescence, potassium chloride value, and pH. Powder of particle size small enough to pass an 80 mesh screen (U.S. Bureau of Standards) appeared to have better baking properties than coarser material. Trials with nozzles of various sizes indicated that the best product was prepared using small nozzles. Sucrose syrup or solid sucrose, with fresh or frozen egg, all produced powders of similar initial quality.

Liquid from eggs of various qualities was frozen at −40° F. and stored at 10°, 0°, and −10° F. for 12 months. Powder produced from the defrosted samples was assessed by fluorescence and potassium chloride solution solubility measurements, which showed that liquid from musty or incubator reject eggs gave a less desirable powder than liquid from Grade A, Grade C, or cracked eggs; increase in time of frozen storage decreased the quality of the resulting powder; if frozen storage extended beyond six months, the lowest storage temperature was most desirable; and method of packaging (in Reynold's Metal A-10, or in wax paper with or without added ice) had no effect on the quality of the powder produced. If drying conditions were held constant, increased dilution of the defrosted egg before drying resulted in a poorer powder. It was shown that freezing or defrosting operations should be completed within about one hour.

Dried whole egg powders were obtained from three different manufacturers and stored at temperatures ranging from 7.1° to 32.1 °C. for periods up to six months. Quality was assessed by determination of fluorescence and potassium chloride values. At 23.8 °C. the rate of deterioration was comparatively rapid; at 32.1 °C. it was markedly so. To maintain quality during storage and transport dried egg should be stored at a temperature of 15.6 °C. or lower.The effect on keeping quality of packing in nitrogen, carbon dioxide, in vacuo, or in the form of compressed tablets was studied. Carbon dioxide alone had beneficial effect.

Dried whole egg powders, obtained from three different manufacturers, were adjusted to contain from 2 to 8.5% moisture, and held at temperatures ranging from 7.1° to 43.3 °C. Quality was assessed by determination of the fluorescence, potassium chloride, and refractometric values.Temperature was the most important single factor studied in affecting the keeping quality of dried egg. However, at all temperatures the rate of deterioration increased with increase in the moisture content. To maintain quality during storage and transport, dried egg should contain not more than 5% moisture and preferably 2% or less.

Acidification of liquid egg prior to drying did not improve subsequent storage life, although pH measurements showed that powder from untreated egg became acid more rapidly during storage. Reduction in the moisture content (total volatiles) from 4.7 to 3.0% doubled, and reduction from 4.7 to 1.7% tripled, the storage life of dried whole egg powder as assessed by fluorescence tests. The maximum storage life predicted for the low moisture powder by this test was only 36 wk. at 27 °C. and 5 wk. at 38 °C. Palatability tests suggested that the product was somewhat less perishable, as a powder of 1.7% moisture was considered fit for use as an egg dish after 64 wk. at 27 °C. Gas-packing low moisture powders in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide appeared to be slightly more effective as a means of retaining palatability than packing in an atmosphere of air or nitrogen, but was particularly effective in preventing loss of solubility (assessed by potassium chloride values) during storage.

The effect on quality of heating dried egg powders from two Canadian plants at temperatures ranging from 26.7° to 60.0 °C. for periods of from three hours to seven days was investigated. Quality of the treated powders was assessed by determination of the fluorescence, potassium chloride, and water values and the pH and refractive indices of the potassium chloride and aqueous extracts.The rate of deterioration of quality was on the average usually greatest on heating for one day at temperatures of 43.3 °C. and higher. However, some change was observed even at 26.7 °C. after one day. The powders from the two plants behaved similarly. Interpretation of the results in terms of the rate at which egg powder should be cooled after drying indicated that a temperature of 26.7 °C. or less should be attained within three hours if deterioration in quality is to be prevented.

A nine filter colour comparator was used to compare egg powders with strips showing the colour of dried egg as received in the United Kingdom. Drying either fresh or frozen eggs did not affect powder colour but Grade B and Grade C eggs gave a product with a more intense yellow colour than Grade A eggs. The area of Canada in which eggs were produced did not affect the colour of the subsequent powder appreciably but powders prepared from eggs produced in May to July, 1945 were a more intense yellow than those from eggs produced in January to April of the same year. Exposure of the liquid egg to light before drying resulted in powders of a duller grey colour than when the liquid was kept in the darkness. Commercial cone-type driers gave powders of a more intense yellow than commercial box-type driers, while powders prepared on the laboratory drier were paler than those prepared on the commercial driers. Coarse powders scattered less of the impinging light than fine powders but the colour quality of the scattered light was unaffected. The addition of a mixture of two dyes, Tartrazme and Sunset Yellow, to liquid egg before drying improved the colour of the resulting powder.

The refractometric determination of the solubility of dried, whole egg powder was found to be affected by the method of defatting, the nature of the fat and protein solvents, the ratio of protein solvent to powder, the method of equilibration, and time of extraction. These factors were standardized by defatting egg powder with petroleum ether and extracting for a period of two hours with a 5% solution of sodium chloride. The refractometric value of the extract was determined at 25 °C. using an Abbé refractometer.The refractometric value was linearly related to the content of water soluble nitrogen of whole powder and to the potassium chloride value of defatted powder. A curvilinear relation was obtained with the content of crude albumin nitrogen and with the potassium chloride value of whole egg powder.
