An electron beam technology of surface disinfection of the packed egg
2021, Food and Bioproducts ProcessingCitation Excerpt :In addition, eggs are used to produce broiler chickens, which after growing on poultry farms become the most widespread source of cheap and useful meat. Therefore, the shell cleanliness, i.e. the absence of dirt and microorganisms, is important not only for the commercial sales of eggs, but also to prevent the penetration of microorganisms through the pores in the egg shell (Rothrock et al., 2018), which can lead to egg damage and Salmonella infection (Shayanfar and Pillai, 2015). Washing improves the appearance of the eggs, but is not beneficial for their storage because it leads to the opening of pores in the shell.

2018, Food MicrobiologyCitation Excerpt :However, limited commercial applications have been described for most of these new technologies. Electron beam technology is another up-and-coming treatment option, which according to experts, can play a pivotal role in mitigating some of the contemporary microbiological risks facing the produce industry (Shayanfar and Pillai, 2014; Lung et al., 2015). It is an environment friendly, cost and time effective decontamination strategy that uses low-dose ionizing radiation to treat crops (-as well as other food items), to eliminate microbial contamination.
