  • When the egg was laid in the nest, the environment contaminated the shell and influenced to the egg hygiene and threats the consumer safety. Egg consumers in household need more information to keep the eggs correctly and safely for their health base on the scientific research. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of disinfection against total egg’s bacteria when the eggs were stored in room temperature. The eggs were distributed into one control group (without cleaning treatment) and four disinfectant treatment groups i.e. gas fumigation 2x strength, potassium permanganate solution 0.5%, acetic acid 1.25%, detergent solution 0.5%) and every group consist 33 eggs. After disinfected, all groups were stored in room temperature (±26oC) then total bacterial were counted at 2 hours, 2 days, 4 days, 6 days, 8 days, 10 days, 12 days, 14 days, 16, days, 18 days, and 20 days after stored. Egg-shell swab and egg’s liquid (mixed of albumin and yolk) from three eggs of each group were taken in every observation period. All samples were serial diluted in sterile ringer solution (Oxoid) and plating with Plate Count Agar (Oxoid) then incubated at 37oC for 24 hours. Data was analyzed using General Linear Model Multivariate and post-hoc test using LSD (SPSS ver. 17). Gas fumigation, acetic acid 1.25%, and detergent solution 0.5% treatments inhibited bacteria growth less than 105 CFU/ml (SNI 01-3926-2008) at shell egg for 4 days storage, while potassium permanganate 0.5% and detergent solution 0.5% effectively inhibited bacteria growth less than 105 CFU/ml (SNI 01-3926-2008) in egg-liquid until 4 days storage too. After 4 days storage, all treatment and control groups showed the bacterial amount more than 105 CFU/ml both in egg shell and liquid. Potassium permanganate solution 0.5% and detergent solution 0.5% effectively inhibited bacteria growth less than 105 CFU/ml (SNI 01-3926-2008) in eggs until 4 days.
