Diseases, health risks, unsanitary living conditions, and animal cruelty are just a few of the problems associated with the production of poultry products, resulting from the choices of major food corporations. On farms, typically called broilers, chickens are raised in confined farmhouses, often cramming hundreds of chickens. Forcing these animals to live in their own filth, health factors become a major concern. In the span of four to six weeks, chickens are raised in their own feces, an…
The eggs and chicken contained lipids. These results were expected because chicken is meat, and all meats contain lipids, and the eggs contain it also because the chickens lay them.…
The egg shell completely disappears due to the vinegar reacting with the egg; bubbles form on the surface of the vinegar and on the egg because carbon dioxide was produced from the reaction. In turn, the membrane of the egg becomes very rubbery.…

The smallest egg of them all was the corn syrup egg! Fun Fact: You can eat naked eggs. They are considered a delicacy in China and are called 100 hundred year old eggs even they are not fermented for 100 years. During this experiment we learned corn syrup will take away the water out of the egg because it wants to balance its sugars. This will cause the corn syrup egg to become shriveled up and…

There are two types of chickens, meat chickens and also egg chickens. Over 8.54 billion chickens a year are killed for their meat, while another 300 million chickens are held in tiny cages producing close to 100 billion eggs a year. 90 percent of the egg laying chickens are kept in battery cages. A battery cages provide less space per bird than a 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheet of paper. Battery cages have also been banned in the European Union. When chickens are bred only female chickens are kept, the male chicks are disposed of shortly after they hatch, they are killed by grinding, gassing, crushing or suffocation. These poor birds are killed as soon as their sex’s are…
The egg white is mostly water with a small amount of dissolved proteins known as albumin. The purpose of the egg white is to keep the embryo moist and cushioned during incubation. The yellow part in an egg is called the egg yolk. This is stored food for the embryo and fetus. The fetus consumes the yolk until it is almost gone, at hatching time (Lawrence Hall of Science 2009).…
The egg in the Columbus story is a historical allusion to Christopher Columbus’ journey around the world. One time, at a dinner party in Columbus’ honor, some men began to mock him. Columbus gives the men a task; to make an egg stand up straight. After each man had tried and declared the impossibility of doing such a thing, Columbus takes the egg and makes it stand straight by crushing the shell. He then says, “gentlemen, what is easier than to do…
In cooking, everything is chemistry! Whether you knead bread, bake a pie, or roast a meat, chemical reaction is taking place. Not only with these foods, but with others such as eggs. Egg proteins change when you heat them, beat them, or mix them with other ingredients. Being able to understand these changes can help you understand the roles that eggs play in cooking. The proteins in an egg white are twisted, folded, and curled up into a circular shape. Different kinds of weak chemical bonds keep the protein curled up tight in the water that surrounds it.…
Eggs in a pan (Oeufs sur plat) is a still life painting by french artist Antoine Vollon. It is an oil painting on canvas depicting four eggs and their yellow yolks in a pan, sitting on a shelf or bench next to a pitcher of (presumably) water or milk. It was painted in the period between 1885 and 1890 and is now a part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria.…
In order to complete this experiment, one of the most important things you need to know how to do is how to take the outer “shell” layer off of the egg. The egg shells contain an element known as calcium carbonate. This element can be turned into carbon dioxide when combined with acetic acid. You can find acetic acid in vinegar. {Guenther, Leanne. “Soft Shelled Eggs.” Kidzone Science, Kidzone Science, 1998, www.kidzone.ws/science/egg.htm.}…
