Key Points

The research aims to assess the effectiveness of chitosan in reducing yolk cholesterol in chicken eggs.
Fresh eggs were coated with chitosan solutions at 0.5 and 1 concentrations for 1, 2, and 3 hours.
Sensory assessments determined the most acceptable formulation.
Cholesterol levels were measured using a colorimetric assay with a UV VIS spectrophotometer.
The treatment with 0.5 chitosan for 1 hour received the highest acceptability score.
A significant reduction in yolk cholesterol was observed with the chitosan treatment.
