To improve hygienic quality of egg, the ozone treatment was applied. Eggs were inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium, and the inoculated eggs were treated by ozone (38.8 ppm) for 10-30 min. Furthermore, microbiological and chemical quality changes of eggs were investigated during storage. Initial number of S. Typhimurium of egg shell was 6.18 log CFU/g and the number was increased during storage (p<0.05). However, those of ozonated samples for 10-30 min were 4.22-5.25 log CFU/g, which was lower than that of the control. Especially, ozone treatment for 30 min achieved about 2 decimal reductions and the numbers were maintained during storage. Other physical and chemical characteristics of eggs by ozone treatment, including Haugh unit, yolk color, pHs of egg white and yolk, foaming ability, foam stability and lipid oxidation development were not different when compared with that of the control. Therefore, ozone treatment is one of the available methods to improve hygienic quality of eggs.
