Preserving E g gs
“Here in Britain our rather cold and unpredictable climate at least relieves us of some of the problems of food preservation" reported John Newell in the 8.8. C. World Service programme “The Farming World.” “For example, we don’t have to worry much about preserving eggs. But in India, 5 to 10 per cent of all eggs are spoiled by microbial infections, and their quality falls off in the hot damp climate. So the Indian Central Food Technological Institute has invented a new - way to preserve eggs, by dipping them into a petroleum-based oil which has got anti-bacterial and antifungal compounds added to it. And this keeps the eggs fresh for about a nionth, at a cost of less than twopence for 100 eggs.”
