The major rise in the demand for processed eggs in the food industry gives the opportunity to turn eggs finally into valuable food ingredients. Eggs are consumed not only for commercial uses like pastries, households hotels etc., and it is also used widely by the egg products manufacturing industries by giving the desired egg products in the form of powder and liquid according to the customer's requirements. Our project deals with the Continuous achievement of Total Solid percentage by using an automated system. Total Solid can be defined as the amount of solid content present in a litre of yolk or whole egg liquid. For example if a litre of yolk or whole egg liquid with certain measured Total Solid percentage is taken and dried we will get the exact quantity of dry powder as same as measured total solid percentage. Earlier it was a manually operated system which was carried out after the two storage tanks has filled to its full capacity. In the automated process two pumps has been set up permanently between the yolk and whole egg liquid storage tanks and the Total Solid is continuously monitored and measured above a certain level by using the advanced Total Solid meter and transfer of yolk, whole egg liquids is done between the two tanks according to the required Total Solid percentage of yolk and whole egg liquids respectively. Therefore by transferring the yolk to whole egg or whole egg to yolk we can able to achieve the required Total Solid percentage. After the achievement of required Total Solid percentage the yolk and whole egg liquids are sent for the further processing as described in materials and methods. The automated process is continued without any break by controlling and maintaining the Total Solid percentage of both yolk and the whole egg liquids with the use of advanced Total Solid meter.
