Let's take a look at the structure of artificial eggs:
The eggshell of artificial egg is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, with a little gypsum. The components of egg white are mainly starch, coagulant, pigment and other chemicals. Egg yolk is made of pigment and resin, and the pigment should be stained with citric acid.
To tell a practical story, the cost of artificial eggs is actually very high. Because of the ordinary traditional artificial breeding, many chickens are free-range in the grass, and they have enough exercise, and sometimes they can eat insects on the grass. Therefore, chicken farmers only need to spend some money on feed, so the price of real eggs in the market is generally not high, which is generally 3-3 kg in 4 yuan. However, artificial egg production is different. It uses sodium alginate as a coagulant, which is complicated, time-consuming and material-consuming, and artificial egg production.
Why do many people say that they have bought artificial eggs?
Most people in the market bought bad guys instead of artificial eggs. There are probably two kinds of bad guys: one is frostbite; Or too many chemicals are mixed into chicken feed. Another way of saying it is: What about the eggs left by the hens? The workers didn't take care of them properly, so they went bad.
How should we distinguish between true and false eggs?
It's very simple. Just look, touch and smell.
1, look at the surface of the egg. Under strong light, there are many external holes on the surface of the real egg, and the texture on the eggshell is relatively rough and uneven. Experienced aunts can tell the truth at a glance.
2, touch the shell of the egg. The surface of a real egg usually has a frosty feeling, and it feels slightly uneven. On the contrary, if the eggshell is too smooth, everyone should be careful that it is an artificial egg.
3, smell the smell of eggs, real eggs have a faint smell, but the smell of artificial eggs is very heavy, and you can tell the true from the false when you smell them.
To sum up, in fact, having said so much, I hope that the masses will not be deceived by the so-called artificial egg news, and believe in science. Listening to fake news too much can easily lead to panic or the end of both people and money.
