From January to November, 2003, bacterial contamination was surveyed in a small egg-breaking factory that produced non pasteurized liquid egg. Test egg samples were taken at various stages of the egg processing operation. Salmonella Enteritidis was isolated from liquid egg yolk and liquid egg white on October, but was not found in any other samples (50 liquid egg samples, 21 containers and 94 attached production facilities and gloves). The data suggest that the contamination rate (3.8%) is lower than those reported previously. Levels of bacterial standard plate counts, gram-positive bacterial counts and gram-negative bacterial counts were in the ranges of 2 to 5 log CFU/g, 2 to 3 log CFU/g, 2 to 5 log CFU/g, respectively. Liquid egg containers returned from customers was contaminated with bacteria at the level of 8 log CFU per container. However, washing and application of a sanitizer containing sodium hypochlorite reduced the bacterial counts.

Resveratrol is a polyphenol compound showing strong antioxidant properties. It is believed that semen cryopreservation causes significant sperm losses which eventually affects sperm quality. Improving antioxidant status of semen may reduce this damage and enhance sperm fertilizing potential.

This study presents a novel and efficient method for extracting immunoglobulin Y (IgY) antibodies from egg yolk based on the principle of liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) induced by polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG 8000). Initial delipidation of egg yolk samples with varying PEG 8000 concentrations demonstrated optimal delipidation efficiency and protein recovery at 2.5 % PEG 8000 concentration.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the potential of phage phSE-5 to inactivate Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in milk (at 4, 10, and 25°C), liquid whole egg, and eggshell (at 25°C for both matrices).
Methods And Results: Since the success of phage treatment in food depends on maintaining phage viability towards different food conditions, firstly the stability of phage phSE-5 at different temperatures and pHs was assessed. The effect of phage phSE-5 against S.

Vertebrate oocyte polarity has been observed for two centuries and is essential for embryonic axis formation and germline specification, yet its underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In oocyte polarization, critical RNA-protein (RNP) granules delivered to the oocyte's vegetal pole are stored by the Balbiani body (Bb), a membraneless organelle conserved across species from insects to humans. However, the mechanisms of Bb formation are still unclear.
