Summary

The yolks of fresh eggs contained on average 2.78 milligrams/kilogram vitamin B1 and the albumen 0.27 milligram/kilogram. Irregular decreases of vitamin B1 were observed with elevated temperature, humidity and extended storage period. Loss of vitamin B1 after 3, 6 and 10 months cold storage in brown-shelled eggs coated with paraffin (wax) was 0.28, 0.43 and 1.21 milligrams/kilogram, respectively. It was concluded that the most efficient method for preserving vitamin B1 in eggs at various temperatures was paraffin coating.
