Determining egg yolk color

Yolk color was determined to further evaluate the level of raw materials-containing xanthophylls which affect the yolk color pigmentation. In this photo, the upper left can be considered having 14 as its color grade while the other one, 12.5 as its color grade. Yolk color doesn't imply nutritive value although, there are differences in micronutrients moreover, an egg is an egg after all.
