ClearQuality 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.

Soaking chicken eggs in aloe vera gel extended their storage life up to 30 days, with significant improvements in egg white index, yolk index, and Haugh unit compared to untreated eggs, though egg weight was not significantly affected by the treatment.
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.
Nobiletin Ameliorates Aging of Chicken Ovarian Prehierarchical Follicles by Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Promoting Autophagy
This study investigated a plant compound called nobiletin (found in citrus fruits) as a treatment for age-related decline in chicken egg production caused by follicle aging. While focused on poultry science rather than microplastics, the research is relevant because it demonstrates how antioxidants can counteract oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage -- the same types of cellular harm that microplastics and nanoplastics have been shown to cause in various tissues.
Utilization of chicken eggshell and chitosan as coagulants for microplastic removal from aquatic system
This study tested chicken eggshell powder and chitosan as natural coagulants for removing microplastics from water, finding that both materials effectively aggregated plastic particles and settled them from suspension, offering low-cost and biodegradable alternatives to synthetic coagulants.
Quality of Sperm Simmental Bulls and Success of Artificial Insemination with the Addition of Nanocalcium Phosphate in Tris Aminomethane Egg Yolk Diluent Using Semen Storage Ampoules from Nanocalcium Silicophosphate Biomaterials
This study found that adding 1% nanocalcium phosphate to semen preservation diluent and using nanocalcium silicophosphate biomaterial ampoules improved Simmental bull sperm quality during cryopreservation. The enhanced storage approach maintained higher sperm motility and viability over four days, potentially improving artificial insemination success rates in livestock breeding.
Microplastic pollution in eggs impairs chick development by disrupting yolk sac function and intestinal homeostasis
Researchers detected microplastics in all commercial chicken eggs tested (average 17 μg/g), confirmed maternal transfer by finding polystyrene and polyethylene in all ovarian follicles, and showed that injecting polystyrene nanoplastics into yolk sacs disrupted yolk sac function and intestinal development in chicks.
Development and characterization of active gelatin-chitosan packaging incorporated with guava leaf extract for extending meat shelf life
Researchers developed active food packaging films made from gelatin and chitosan incorporating natural antimicrobial agents, evaluating their barrier properties, mechanical strength, and ability to extend food shelf life. The bio-based packaging showed effective antimicrobial activity and reduced food spoilage compared to untreated films.
Egg proteins show promise for removing salt and microplastics from water
Researchers found that proteins derived from eggs can be used to remove both salt and microplastics from water through a simple filtration process. This low-cost, biodegradable approach offers a promising method for cleaning microplastic-contaminated water using readily available biological materials.
Short Communication: Antimicrobial properties in cloacal fluid of olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea)
This study found that the cloacal fluid of olive ridley sea turtles has natural antimicrobial properties. The finding may help explain how sea turtles protect their eggs from soil pathogens during nesting.
Polystyrene Nanoplastics Exposure Alters Gut Microbiota and Correlates with Egg Quality Parameters in Chickens
Researchers exposed chickens to 100 nm nanoplastics through their diet for 120 days and found that the particles accumulated in intestinal tissues, causing structural damage including villus atrophy and goblet cell depletion. The study also revealed significant gut microbiota disruption and correlations with reduced egg quality parameters, suggesting nanoplastic exposure may affect both poultry health and productivity.
Bioactive compound and chemical characterization of lactic acid bacteria from fermented food as bio-preservative agents to control food-borne pathogens
Thai researchers screened lactic acid bacteria from fermented foods and identified four Lactobacillus species with antibacterial activity against common food pathogens including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The best-performing strain showed promising properties for use as a natural food preservative.

Harmful impacts of microplastic pollution on poultry and biodegradation techniques using microorganisms for consumer health protection: A review
This review examines how microplastic pollution affects poultry health and food safety, finding that microplastics have been detected in chicken meat from supermarkets and open markets.
