Effect of Noni Fruit Extract on the Internal Quality, Foam Index, and Haugh Unit of the Chicken Eggs
Summary
Noni fruit extract at 6% concentration was found to be the most effective treatment for preserving egg quality over 21 days of storage, outperforming both lower concentrations and the antibiotic ampicillin in maintaining egg weight, air sac diameter, foam index, and Haugh unit values.
This study aimed to determine the effect of noni fruit extract on the internal quality, foam index, and haugh unit of layers eggs. This research has been carried out at the Chemistry Laboratory of Widya Mandira University Kupang, and the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Timor, Kefamenanu during February 12, until March 25, 2020. This study used eggs of layer chicken, each treatment using 25 eggs. The method used was a completely randomized design with a one-way pattern consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments given were T0 (control), T1 (2 ml noni fruit extract), T2 (4 ml noni fruit extract), T3 (6 ml noni fruit extract), and T4 (ampicillin). The variables observed were egg weight, air sac diameter, albumen height, egg yolk index, foam leakage, foam index, and Haugh unit. The results of statistical analysis showed the effect of noni fruit extract on egg weight, air sac diameter, foam leakage, foam index, and Haugh unit value. The mean value of each variable showed that the 6 ml (T3) noni extract treatment was better than the other treatments (T0, T1, T2, and T4). It was concluded that to maintain egg quality for up to 21 days, could be preserved with a concentration of 6% noni fruit extract.

Quality Of Duck Eggs At Different Soaking Times In Noni Leaf Extract Stored For 15 Days
This study found that soaking duck eggs in 45% noni leaf extract for 24-48 hours maintained interior egg quality during 15-day storage, preserving yolk index, albumen index, and Haugh unit values compared to untreated controls. The antimicrobial compounds in noni leaves, including alkaloids and phenolic compounds, provided a natural preservation effect. The research explores natural preservation methods as alternatives to synthetic coatings and plastic packaging that contribute to microplastic contamination.

Unscrambling why plastics aren't detectable in chicken eggs.
Australian researchers tested chicken eggs from four commercial production systems and backyard hens for seven common plastic polymers and found plastics were not detectable at measurable levels. The study provides reassurance about this food group while also highlighting methodological challenges in detecting microplastics in fatty matrices like egg yolk.
Microplastics contamination in eggs: Detection, occurrence and status
Researchers detected microplastics in commercially sold chicken eggs for the first time, finding an average of nearly 12 particles per egg. Most particles were spherical polyethylene in the 50 to 100 micrometer size range, and egg yolks contained more microplastics than egg whites, with cooking having no significant effect on the count. The study highlights eggs as another dietary pathway for human microplastic exposure and calls for measures to address contamination in the food supply.
