Abstract :The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of storing table hen eggs in egg cardboard box viol, plastic box viol, and cardboard viols at various temperatures on the microbiology of the egg shell. A total of 150 table chicken eggs were used in the study. The eggs were randomly distributed into three groups: standard cardboard viol, plastic box viol, and cardboard box viol. The eggs were stored at room temperature and in the refrigerator for 28 days. On the 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of the experiment, five eggs from each group were analyzed for total bacteria insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAMB);, mold-yeast, and coliform. The Viol type x storage temperature interaction effect was significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05); only on egg shell mold-yeast, but its effect on the TAMB and coliforms was insignificant. The effect of viol types on shell coliforms was insignificant. Egg TAMB and mold-yeast counts were found to be lower in plastic box viols than in other groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P <0.05);. TAMB and mold-yeast count were found to be higher in eggs that were stored in refrigerator conditions than in room conditions insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P <0.05);. From a microbial perspective, it can be said that storing eggs in plastic box viols is more suitable in terms of hygiene during storage.
