In the field of food preservation, finding efficient, safe and environmentally friendly preservation methods has always been the focus of the industry. In recent years, chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) has shown significant application value in the preservation of duck eggs due to its strong oxidizing properties and broad-spectrum bactericidal ability. Bluewav's chlorine dioxide generator can produce chlorine dioxide through the electrolysis of salt water. This article will deeply explore the application principles, advantages, actual effects and future development trends of chlorine dioxide in duck egg preservation.

I. Characteristics and advantages of chlorine dioxide
Chlorine dioxide is a yellow-green gas that is easily soluble in water and has strong oxidizing properties and broad-spectrum bactericidal ability. It can destroy the cell structure of microorganisms and quickly kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. At the same time, it is non-toxic and harmless to the human body, leaves no residue, and has no "three-causing reactions" (carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic). These properties make chlorine dioxide an ideal choice for preserving duck eggs.
II. Application principle of chlorine dioxide in duck egg preservation
In the process of duck egg preservation, chlorine dioxide mainly plays a role in the following aspects:
Eggshell disinfection: Duck eggs are easily contaminated by microorganisms during collection, transportation and processing. Using chlorine dioxide solution to soak and clean duck eggs can effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms on the surface of the eggshell, reducing the risk of corruption of duck eggs during storage.
Disinfection of pickling liquid: During the process of pickling duck eggs, the pickling liquid is prone to breed bacteria, affecting the quality and shelf life of the duck eggs. Regularly adding an appropriate amount of chlorine dioxide disinfectant to the pickling liquid can maintain the hygiene of the pickling liquid and prevent bacterial contamination.
Improve the pickling environment: Chlorine dioxide can also remove odors and impurities in the water, improve the water quality environment for pickled duck eggs, and make the pickled duck eggs taste better.
III. The actual effect of chlorine dioxide in preserving duck eggs
Many duck egg processing factories have adopted chlorine dioxide to preserve duck eggs and achieved remarkable results. The shelf life of duck eggs preserved using chlorine dioxide is significantly extended, and the taste and quality are significantly improved. It is specifically manifested in the following aspects:
Extend shelf life: Through sterilization and disinfection, chlorine dioxide can significantly extend the shelf life of duck eggs and reduce spoilage during storage.
Improve quality: Chlorine dioxide can promote the penetration of egg yolk and prevent it from turning black. It can also reduce the amount of salt used and improve the overall quality of duck eggs.
Maintain freshness: Chlorine dioxide can effectively kill microorganisms on the surface of the eggshell and prevent bacteria from invading the inside of the duck eggs, thereby maintaining the freshness and taste of the duck eggs.
IV. Future Development Trends
As people's requirements for food safety and quality continue to increase, the application prospects of chlorine dioxide in duck egg preservation will be broader. In the future, we can expect the following developments:
Technological Innovation: Continuously develop new chlorine dioxide preservation technologies and products to improve preservation effects and reduce usage costs.
Standardized production: Establish a standardized production process for chlorine dioxide-preserved duck eggs to ensure product quality and safety.
Marketing Promotion: Increase the marketing efforts for chlorine dioxide-preserved duck eggs to increase consumer awareness and acceptance.
V. Conclusion
As an efficient, safe and environmentally friendly preservative, chlorine dioxide has shown significant application value in the preservation of duck eggs. Bluewav has been committed to the research and development of chlorine dioxide generators. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous promotion of the market, I believe that chlorine dioxide will play a more important role in the field of duck egg preservation and provide consumers with safer, healthier and more delicious duck egg products.
