Abstract
Quail eggs, the smallest ones among poultry species, require special methodological aspects for their non-destructive examination and quality analysis. Using eggs from a cross between the Japanese and Texas breeds, we devised a methodology for defining the main geometric parameters of quail eggs. Calculation formulae were proposed to estimate indirectly egg volume and surface area. Our findings on the weights of structural egg components enabled to obtain mathematical equations for computing the weights of shell, yolk and albumen, depending on the complex of measured parameters including the egg weight, its volume and surface area. When taken as a whole, the results of our study can be regarded as the most thorough methodological approach to date for the execution of comprehensive investigations of quail egg quality. They will be applicable and instrumental in areas of food research and emerging technologies, including the aspects of storage, packing, and processing of quail eggs.
