Summary

Water content, pH and concentrations of furosine, pyroglutamic acid and uridine increased as a function of the storage temperature (5, 20 and 30 deg C). The egg yolk is pseudoplastic. A fall in apparent viscosity was observed during storage. The temperature of agregation rose from 72 deg C (fresh egg) to 80.5 deg C (after storage). Ther is a correlation between the viscosity and the content in dry matter of the egg yolk.
