Özet
Eggs are available in different shapes. These shapes can be differentiated using a shape index (SI). The shapes most often encountered are sharp, normal (standard), and round eggs which are enumerated on the SI as <72, 72–76, and >76, respectively. In this study, the effect of egg shape on the mechanical behaviour of chicken eggs under a compression load was investigated. The resistance of chicken eggs (Lohmann) to damage was determined by measuring the average rupture force, specific deformation, rupture energy and firmness along the X-front (Xf), X-back (Xb) and Z-axes at different compression speeds (0.33, 0.66 and 0.99mm/s). The greatest amount of force required to break the eggs was required when eggs were loaded along the Xf-axis and the least compression force was required along the Z-axis. The specific deformation and rupture energy required for the eggs tested was lower along the Xf …
