The effects of storage temperature (4°C, 25°C, and 35°C) on sensory quality, physicochemical properties, texture, molecular forces, flavor, and microbial indexes of preserved eggs were studied. The results showed that the sensory quality, weight loss rate, pH, and color of preserved eggs were significantly different at different storage temperatures (P < 0.05). Compared with high temperature and normal temperature storage, low temperature storage reduced weight loss rate by 55.15 and 64.1%, respectively, improved the sensory score (P < 0.05), inhibited the reduction of pH and the increase of total volatile base nitrogen (P < 0.05), and decreased the change of color (P < 0.05). During storage, there was no difference in the springiness of preserved egg white stored at different temperatures (P > 0.05). Hardness and chewiness at 3 different temperatures increased first and then decreased, and low temperature significantly inhibited the progress of these changes to a certain extent (P < 0.05). The content of ionic bond in egg white first decreased and then increased, and content of disulfide bond increased first and then decreased. Content of ionic bond in yolk decreased all the time, and high temperature could promote this change. Whatever the temperature was, the content of free amino acids in preserved egg white and yolk increased first and then decreased, and the total content of amino acids stored at different temperatures was significantly different (P < 0.05). The content of free fatty acids in yolk decreased. At the end of storage, no microorganisms were detected in 3 temperatures during the storage period of 84 D. The results showed that low temperature storage is more conducive for preservation of preserved eggs.
