Summary

The quality of liquid egg white (LEW) during storage is critical for the development of the egg industry. In order to effectively control its storage quality, the effects of packaging materials and storage conditions on the quality of LEW were investigated. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) was applied to explore changes in bacterial population proportions and microflora in the spoilage of LEW. The shelf life of LEW packaged with glass (LEW-PG), plastic (LEW-PP), and tinplate (LEW-PT) was preliminarily determined to be 8, 5, and 7 days, respectively. LEW-PG possessed superior sensory scores (65) and L values (87.5), and a lower growth rate of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content among the three samples on the last day of shelf life, and was chosen for further study. During 24 days of storage, the sensory scores of the LEW-PG in 10 °C and 4 °C groups decreased by 32.7% and 25.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference in foaming properties of LEW-PG between the 10 °C and 4 °C groups (p > 0.05). HTS analysis showed that the abundance of species composition in the 10 °C samples was higher than that in the 4 °C samples, though the latter possessed a higher community diversity. At the genus level, the dominant bacteria in the 10 °C group were Pseudomonas (21.79%), others (19.21%), and Escherichia (11.21%), while others (37.5%), Escherichia (30.40%), and Bifidobacterium (17.72%) were highly abundant in the 4 °C samples. It is hoped that this study could provide theoretical support for quality control of LEW during storage.
