Non-Destructive Measurement of Egg’s Haugh Unit by Vis-NIR with iPLS-Lasso Selection [PDF]
Egg freshness is of great importance to daily nutrition and food consumption. In this work, visible near-infrared (vis-NIR) spectroscopy combined with the sparsity of interval partial least square regression (iPLS) were carried out to measure the egg’s ...

PREDICTION OF HAUGH UNIT BY EGG WEIGHT AND ALBUMEN HEIGHT [PDF]
Haugh unit which introduced by Raymond haugh in 1937 is the most scale used to measure the egg quality by equation ( HU= 100*Log (h+7.57)-(1.7 * W 0.37 ) .The aim of this research is to find the prediction equation of the Haugh unit depending on egg ...

A novel Egg Quality Index as an alternative to Haugh unit score [PDF]
An unusually popular index reflecting the quality of the egg contents and known as the Haugh unit (HU) score is empirical in nature. Because of that, a number of studies appeared that contradict or try to improve this index. In this regard, we set a study that pursued several goals: (i) to trace the rationale for developing the HU index and give it a ...

With the increase in the world population, the nutritional needs of people have been increased. The demand for eggs which is one of the most important food sources has been increased over years. Therefore, it is very important to inform people about egg quality in order to be prepared for adverse situations such as substitution, mislabeling, and fraud.

Is the Haugh Unit Correction for Egg Weight Valid for Eggs Stored at Room Temperature?
Abstract The Haugh unit (HU) is the measure of albumen quality used by the poultry industry, but its correction for egg weight has been severely criticized. The validity of the correction for egg weight was investigated with an unwashed, unclassified sample of 800 eggs obtained from a commercial egg classification station.

TI 59 Calculator Program for Haugh Unit Calculation
Abstract A TI 59 calculator program was written for Haugh unit determination of the albumen quality of eggs. The original equation developed by Haugh (1937) was incorporated into the program. Use of the calculator program gives an accurate and direct reading of the Haugh unit.

The Haugh Unit as a Measure of Egg Albumen Quality
Abstract THE PROBLEM of improving the egg albumen quality in the fowl has been extensively studied. Vital to a statistical study of any trait is an objective definition and a simple, accurate, normally distributed, quantitative measurement. Although a definition of albumen quality known to satisfy all of these requirements has not been provided, many

Thyme Essential Oil and Hyaluronic Acid as Natural Disinfectant Alternatives for Broiler Breeder Fertile Eggs: Effects on Eggshell Microbial Load, Embryonic Viability and Hatchability. [PDF]
Natural eggshell sanitation using thyme essential oil reduced microbial contamination and lipid peroxidation while improving embryo viability and hatchability in stored broiler breeder fertile eggs. These findings support thyme essential oil as a promising residue‐free alternative for hatchery egg sanitation.

Abstract Egg weights, weights of the major egg components, and albumen heights were measured on eggs from young and old flocks of the same strain of commercial layer. This allowed investigation of the relationships between these measures and Haugh unit scores (HU).

Abstract The Haugh unit is the accepted commercial and research standard for measuring albumen quality of chicken eggs. This unit has been criticized because it assumes a fixed relation between egg weight and albumen height. However, the amount of albumen in an egg differs between genetic strains and changes with the age of the hen.
