Quail eggs are susceptible to quality deterioration during room-temperature storage due to carbon dioxide and water vapor loss through shell pores. Natural coating materials may help preserve egg quality during storage. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fermented red galangal (Alpinia officinarum) extract concentrations on egg weight loss, Haugh unit (HU), moisture content, and dry matter content during storage. A completely randomized design was used with three treatments: no coating (P0), 25% extract coating (P1), and 50% extract coating (P2), with five replicates per treatment. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s multiple range test when significant differences were detected. The results showed that treatments had no significant effects (P > 0.05) on egg weight loss, moisture content, or dry matter content, but significantly affected HU values during storage. On day 49, P2 yielded a HU value of 83.07 ± 1.52, compared with 75.15 ± 6.03 for P0 and 74.11 ± 7.15 for P1. These findings indicate that coating with 50% fermented red galangal extract has the potential to maintain the internal quality of quail eggs for up to 49 days. The coating layer may restrict gas exchange through shell pores, thereby slowing albumen quality deterioration, although this mechanism was not directly measured. This study provides an initial basis for utilizing fermented red galangal extract as a natural coating material to help preserve the internal quality of quail eggs during room-temperature storage.
