Physicochemical and functional properties of shell eggs following electron beam irradiation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Low dosages of electron beam irradiation (EBI) were applied to shell eggs to examine potential effects on physicochemical and functional properties. Prior to the assessment of physicochemical and functional properties, the antimicrobial efficacy of 2, 3 and 4 kGy dosages of EBI in shell eggs was established by the reduction of inoculated Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to an undetectable level. Physicochemical changes to shell eggs receiving the same dosages of EBI were quantified by Haugh unit, free sulphhydryl groups, yolk index and lipid oxidation. Functional properties were assessed by foaming capacity, emulsifying capacity and gelling properties. A loss of thick albumen and a corresponding increase in free sulphhydryl groups in the albumen were observed after EBI, resulting in a loss of foam volume and gel hardness. Negligible changes in yolk index and lipid oxidation paralleled a retention of emulsifying capacity and gelling properties. EBI proved to be an effective method for controlling microbial growth in shell eggs without adversely affecting physicochemical and functional properties. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
