An egg yolk is covered, concealed, shielded and protected by hard shell. A hard shell is made up of a carbonate of lime or calcium carbonate and is porous (with tiny pores). This means, that the egg shell contains pores or openings through which air comes in or enters the shell and destroys the egg yolk which in turn causes the yolk to decay.

Egg, when laid is wrapped or naturally coated with a mucilaginous matter which temporarily seals and covers the pores and prevents the entry of air that possibly brings and/or carries bacteria into the egg.

But, this inherent natural mucilage will last only for a very short period of time due to climate condition, handling, sorting, packing, transporting and storage.

When eggs are kept, they continuously lose water by evaporation through the pores of the shell everyday even in the average temperature of thirty degrees centigrade (30 ºC). After ten (10) days from the date the egg was laid, the average loss of water was found to be 1.60% of the total water in the egg when perfectly fresh. After twenty (20) days 3.16%; after thirty (30) days 5% and the evaporation of water increases as the temperature increases.

Candling is a method used to examine eggs in the egg industry to access the potency of edible eggs. Eggs are candled to determine the condition of the air cell, yolk and white. Candling detects bloody whites, blood spots, or meat spots, and enables observation of germ development. Candling is done in a darkened room with the egg held before a light. The light penetrates the egg and makes it possible to observe the inside of the egg. However, this method cannot detect and determine when the egg expires.
