The internal quality attributes such as weight loss (WL), albumen viscosity, Haugh unit (HU), yolk index, total soluble solids, albumen and yolk's pH were monitored. Control groups had the worst HU (50.04), WL (8.35%), albumen pH (9.27) and viscosity (7.72 mPa center dot s) values after storage. The best interior qualities were obtained by shellac coating [HU (72.37), WL (1.37) and viscosity (30.10 mPa center dot s)] and sonication (albumen pH: 8.22). Thus, the shellac-coated eggs maintained all the internal quality parameters at the highest values, while the ozone and ultrasound only helped to keep the internal quality and enhance the shelf life of eggs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEgg qualityozone processingshell eggsshellac and lysozyme-chitosan coatingultrasoundArticle55125926610.1111/ijfs.14301Q2WOS:0004784426000012-s2.0-85074845480Q1
