Bio-Mix Layers Premix plus natural yolk colorant is a brand of the Bio-Mix Layer that contains carotenoids (also called tetraterpenoids) which are organic pigments used to give characteristic colors to carrots, corn, as well as egg yolks.
Yolk Colour as an egg quality attribute
The importance of the color of egg yolk is vital when judging the quality of eggs. Besides the customary standards of measurement such as shape and weight, firmness of the shell, freshness, structure of egg white and yolk etc. the color of yolk and its year-round constancy are decisive criteria in the maintenance of standardized egg quality.
This premix is specially formulated by using the DSM Yolk Colour?Fan?which is widely accepted?throughout the food chain as the?standard for measuring yolk?color on a routine and reliable?basis.?Each fan blade contains a?color that has been measured?objectively and can thus be?reproduced in the yolk.
This fan is therefore used to define and subsequently?measure the desired yolk color?and by formulating the hens? feed?accordingly.
Taking into account?the differences between the various?carotenoid sources available,?a target yolk color that meets the?customer?s requirement can not?only be achieved but also reproduced?consistently, thus giving?the consumer the quality egg desired.
The preferences?expressed by consumers regarding?yolk color and egg quality informs the option for feed industries to produce table eggs that reliably and consistently meet their?expectations.
