Abstract

This study aimed to produce quail egg powder by freeze-drying and to evaluate its stability in different types of flexible packages (low-density polyethylene, polypropylene and pigmented polypropylene) in high relative humidity (approximately 81%) at 25 °C during 59 days. The packages were evaluated for water vapor permeability and freeze-dried egg was characterized as to bulk density and hygroscopicity (initial time), and moisture, water activity, pH and color (until the end of storage). GAB, BET and Peleg sorption isotherm models were adjusted to the experimental data to predict monolayer moisture content in the powdered eggs. The freeze-dried quail eggs presented a little oscillation in color coordinates, reduction in pH, and increase in moisture content and water activity during storage for all packages used. No evaluated packaging was sufficiently effective as a moisture barrier. GAB and BET models fitted better to the experimental data for the freeze-dried quail egg, and the estimated monolayer moisture values were 0.0333 and 0.0227 g H2O/g solids, respectively. The powdered quail egg has industrial potential, however, it is susceptible to significant changes throughout storage when exposed to high relative humidity and conditioned in the tested packages. Commercially, as this product can be sold in regions with different temperatures and relative humidity, it is essential to consider the use of preservatives or anti-wetting agents.
