Shellac bio-coatings can enhance to improve quality and storage stability of fresh egg qualities with improved shell strength therefore minimizing the reduction the egg losses. Shellac bio-chitosan at 3 concentrations (1 %, 4 % and 8 % w/w) and shellac-1 % montmorillonite nanocomposites were applied as biocoatings to improve storage stability. Shellac-8 % (SH-8 %) coated eggs exhibited the lowest weight loss (1.28 %), significantly. The weight loss of shellac 1 % + MMT and 4 % shellac (SH-4 %) coated eggs was similar each other and had lower weight loss than 1 % shellac (SH-1 %). The Haugh Unit (HU) of eggs with SH-8 % (63.75) had the significantly the highest HU. The SH-4 % (60.24) and SH-1 %/MMT-1 % (58.04) were similar, and the control was the lowest one. The albumin pH of SH-8 % (9.15) coated exhibited a significantly lower than SH-4 % (9.21) and SH-1 %/MMT-1 % (9.24), while the control (9.39) was the highest value at end of storage. For the shellac coated group, total soluble values of albumen reached 12.87 (initial) to 16.331 (SH-1 %), 15.96 (SH-4 %), 15.60 (SH-8 %) and 16.15 (SH-%1-MMT-1 %) at the end of storage. The RWC and foam stability of SH-8 %, SH-4 % and SH-1 % MMT-1 % were similar and higher than 1 % SH and uncoated egg samples. The rheology behaviors were maintained with increasing shellac concentration through the storage. SH-8 % biocoatings were very most effective in filling and sealing the porous in the eggshell and protecting the storage stability and enhancing the strength of the eggshell. Shellac bio-coatings acted as a tiny layer for an effective protective barrier to gas permeability for enhancing the storage stability of the fresh eggs. Higher shellac concentrations (4 and 8 %) and 1 %-MMT were enhanced the storage stability and can be vital solutions for improving shell strength, so it decreases breakage rates.
