The winning utility model was accelerated curing of eggshells which enables salted eggs to have a shelf-life of up to six months without refrigeration.
"The application of my research would significantly reduce the curing time from the conventional 12-30 days to 1-7 days,” said Ambrocio Kerwin Perez, researcher and owner of Eggciting Products Manufacturing.
Salted egg is a Filipino delicacy made by soaking duck or chicken eggs in brine.
“The oversupply of eggs leads to serious industry losses and the industry’s lack of initiative to exert effort to ensure top quality fresh egg supply pushed me to do this research,” explained Perez.
Perez added that the research could benefit the multi-billion peso local egg industry, address food security, as well as livelihood employment across the egg value chain, and preserve Filipinos’ cultural culinary identity.
The winning utility model topped four contenders for the outstanding utility model category.
He received twenty-five thousand pesos and certificate of recognition from DOST-TAPI.
The Outstanding Utility Model, one of RICE’s six categories, recognizes new utility models or any industrial product which does not possess the quality of an invention but has practical utility by reason through form, configuration, construction, or composition.
RICE in CALABARZON Region was organized by the Technology Application and Promotion Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-TAPI) in collaboration with the DOST-CALABARZON.
