South Dakota Administrative Rules › Title 12 - Department of Agriculture › Article 12:26 - Eggs and egg products › Chapter 12:26:01 - Definitions › Section 12:26:01:02 - Terms defining shell quality

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
The following terms define shell quality in this article:
(1) "Clean," a shell that is free from
  foreign material and from stains or discolorations that are readily visible. An
  egg may be considered clean if it has only very small specks or slight stains
  and if such specks or stains are not of sufficient number or intensity to
  detract from the generally clean appearance of the egg. Eggs that show traces
  of processing oil on the shell are considered clean unless otherwise
  soiled;
(2) "Dirty," an unbroken
  shell which has dirt or foreign material adhering to its surface, which has
  prominent stains, or which has moderate stains covering more than
  one-thirty-second of the shell surface if localized or one-sixteenth of the
  shell if scattered;
(3)
  "Practically normal," or "AA or A quality," a shell that approximates the usual
  shape and that is free from thin spots. Ridges and rough areas that do not
  materially affect the shape and strength of the shell are permitted;
(4) "Abnormal," or "B quality," a shell that
  may be somewhat unusual in shape or decidedly misshapen, that may be faulty in
  soundness or strength, or that may show pronounced ridges or thin
  spots.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
The following terms define the condition of the air cell in determining
	 the quality of individual eggs:
(1)
  "Depth of air cell," the distance from the top of the air space between shell
  membranes, normally in the large end of the egg, to its bottom when the egg is
  held air cell upward;
(2) "Free air
  cell," an air cell that moves freely toward the uppermost point in the egg as
  the egg is rotated slowly;
(3)
  "Bubbly air cell," a ruptured air cell resulting in one or more small, separate
  air bubbles usually floating beneath the main air cell.

South Dakota Administrative Rules › Title 12 - Department of Agriculture › Article 12:26 - Eggs and egg products › Chapter 12:26:01 - Definitions › Section 12:26:01:04 - Terms defining condition of the white

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
The following terms define the condition of the white in determining
	 the quality of individual eggs:
(1)
  "Clear," a white that is free from discolorations or from any foreign bodies
  floating in it. Prominent chalazas are not foreign bodies, but meat spots or
  blood clots are foreign bodies;
(2)
  "Firm," (AA quality) a white that is sufficiently thick or viscous to prevent
  the yolk outline from being more than slightly defined or indistinctly
  indicated when the egg is twirled. A firm white of a broken-out egg has a Haugh
  unit value of 72 or higher when measured at a temperature between 45 degrees
  and 60 degrees Fahrenheit;
(3)
  "Reasonably firm," (A quality) a white that is somewhat less thick or viscous
  than a firm white. A reasonably firm white permits the yolk to approach the
  shell more closely which results in a fairly well defined yolk outline when the
  egg is twirled. A reasonably firm white of a broken-out egg has a Haugh unit
  value of 60 to 72 when measured at a temperature between 45 degrees and 60
  degrees Fahrenheit;
(4) "Weak and
  watery," (B quality) a white that is thin and generally lacking in viscosity. A
  weak and watery white permits the yolk to approach the shell closely, causing
  the yolk outline to appear plainly visible and dark when the egg is twirled. A
  weak and watery white of a broken-out egg has a Haugh unit value lower than 60
  when measured at a temperature between 45 degrees and 60 degrees
  Fahrenheit;
(5) "Blood spots,"
  blood spots on the surface of the yolk or floating in the white not due to germ
  development. These blood spots may have lost their characteristic red color and
  appear as small spots or foreign material commonly referred to as meat spots.
  Eggs with blood spots or meat spots not more than one-eighth inch in diameter
  may be classified as B quality. Eggs with diffused blood spots or those larger
  than one-eighth inch shall be classified as loss;
(6) "Bloody white," a white which has blood
  diffused through it. Eggs with bloody whites shall be classified as
  loss.

Current through Register Vol. 51, page 10, July 15, 2024
The following terms define the condition of the yolk in determining the
	 quality of individual eggs:
(1)
  "Outline slightly defined," (AA quality) a yolk outline that is not distinctly
  indicated and appears to blend into surrounding white as the egg is
  twirled;
(2) "Outline fairly well
  defined," (A quality) a yolk outline that is discernible but not clearly
  outlined as the egg is twirled;
(3)
  "Outline plainly visible," (B quality) a yolk outline that is clearly visible
  as a dark shadow when the egg is twirled;
(4) "Enlarged and flattened," (B quality) a
  yolk in which the yolk membranes and tissues have weakened and moisture has
  been absorbed from the white to such an extent that it appears definitely
  enlarged and flat;
(5) "Practically
  free from defects," (AA or A quality) a yolk that shows no germ development but
  may show other very slight defects on its surface;
(6) "Serious defects," (B quality) a yolk
  that shows well developed spots or areas and other serious defects, such as
  olive yolks, which do not render the egg inedible;
(7) "Clearly visible germ development," (B
  quality) a development of the germ spot on the yolk of a fertile egg that has
  progressed to a point where it is plainly visible as a definite circular area
  or spot with no blood in evidence;
(8) "Blood due to germ development," blood
  caused by development of the germ in a fertile egg to the point where it is
  visible as definite lines or as a blood ring. Such an egg is classified as
  inedible.
