A study is made of the basic parameters (including mass and radius) for equilibrium quark configurations having central densities from 10^{19} to 10^{32} g/C m^3; it is found that such objects should have large gravitational mass defects. It is assumed that quarks can recombine into hyperons, and it is shown that the number of recombined quarks is of the order of the total number of quarks in a star, the ratio of the number of free quarks to the recombined ones being 10^{-6}.
