I will be presenting my capstone research project for my Biology and Chemistry degrees. I am focusing on the effect of storage time and farming practices on the fatty acid profile of chicken eggs. This study shows the rate of degradation of fatty acids over time and how the diet, environment of the chickens, and method of storage impacts this. It also shows the difference in nutritional content of washed vs. unwashed eggs over an 8 week storage time.
