Abstract
A process for waxing in-shell eggs and eggs prepared thereby. In one embodiment, the process for waxing in-shell eggs is directed to waxing an in-shell egg including passing the egg through a molten wax layer disposed on the surface of a heated liquid which is vertically perturbated.
Claims32
A process for waxing in-shell eggs, comprising:
- transporting said in-shell eggs through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid,
- wherein said heated liquid is vertically perturbated and
- wherein the liquid of said heated liquid is different from the wax of said at least one molten wax layer.
A process for waxing in-shell eggs, comprising transporting at least one stack of a plurality of layers of said eggs through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid;
- wherein the liquid of said heated liquid is different from the wax of said at least one molten wax layer.
A process for waxing and pasteurizing in-shell eggs, comprising:
- transporting said in-shell eggs through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid;
- and
- maintaining said in-shell eggs in said heated liquid until said eggs are pasteurized by absorbing heat from said liquid without substantially impairing functionality of said eggs.
A process for waxing in-shell eggs, comprising:
- transporting said in-shell eggs through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid using transporting equipment that passes through said molten wax layer into said heated liquid;
- wherein the liquid of said heated liquid is different from the wax of said at least one molten wax layer.
A process for waxing in-shell eggs, comprising:
- transporting said in-shell eggs through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid and into said heated liquid,
- wherein as the eggs are immersed into said heated liquid, surfaces of said in-shell eggs and molten wax on surfaces of said in-shell eggs are brought sufficiently close to the same temperature to produce adhesive sealing of pores in the shells of said in-shell eggs;
- and
- wherein the liquid of said heated liquid is different from the wax of said at least one molten wax layer.
A process for waxing in-shell eggs, comprising:
- transporting said in-shell eggs a plurality of times through at least one molten wax layer disposed on a surface of a heated liquid;
- wherein the liquid of said heated liquid is different from the wax of said at least one molten wax layer.
