Is it Possible to Imitate Chicken Eggs?
At first glance – a work from fiction. After all, an egg contains three “ingredients” – yolk, protein, and shell. And all these chickens themselves are “collected” very, very precisely at a higher mathematical level.
Probably a factor as to why they’re doing so poorly. The extra complexity was too frightening. Fake sausage or anything else is not for you! And even more surprising is the fact that the Chinese solved the problem brilliantly – it is very difficult to distinguish them from the fake real chicken eggs.
A sensational sensation in the Guinness Book of Records? Yeah, Al, that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT ain’t for me either. Their only plus is financial. These are very cheap for buyers and have huge profits from the massive sales of producers and traders. Fake chicken eggs were first reported in 2006. Several Chinese newspapers wrote about them while selling fake eggs in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. That is, millions of Chinese people know them. Doctors banned the sale of fake eggs in China after their nutritional value was zero. However, as the food control in this country is less than in other countries, and the financial interest of the enterprising people is more, the eggs start to be fake underground. In addition, False technology did not require any special expenses. And in the conclusion of doctors about the dangers of any artificial product for health, they simply turn a blind eye.
However, medicine has shown that regular use of false eggs is dangerous for children – leading to mental retardation. But the desire for easy and quick profit turned out to be because Chinese fake eggs were sold from time to time, not only in China but also in neighboring countries. I repeat here, and the peculiarity is that it is very difficult to distinguish their appearance from real eggs.
The combination of fake eggs is completely harmful to humans. What are they made of? Yellow: Potassium alginate, potassium-aluminum alum, gelatin, food-grade calcium chloride, and yellow pigment. Protein: Same, but without pigmentation. Shell: A mixture of calcium carbonate, paraffin, and gypsum.
The “technology” of making an egg is extremely simple and does not require any machines or processes. True, productivity is low – the work is a manual piece. But what prevents the extra labor from planting thousands of workers to produce eggs that are willing to work without so much money? Moreover, there is nothing complicated in the process. Warm water is poured into a bowl, and potassium alginate is added, mixed to a certain degree to thicken. Add the remaining ingredients and pour into the mold, shaking until a ball is formed. From above it is covered with a film. Rinse the ball in cold water and let it dry for about 60 minutes. Then repeat the operation with the chemicals (but already without the color) and “protein” on top of the “yolk” Make a layer of it. Build it by dipping it in the last solution with a few twisted threads and making the shell. The task is very simple, and even a small child can perform it qualitatively. The cost of chemicals is very low. And to sell demand, they trade the wholesaler at an average price of 30-40 percent lower than the wholesale price of real eggs.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to distinguish fake chicken eggs from real ones. They are the same in color, size, weight. Only the shelf life of a real egg can be kept for a few months by selling much fewer sh fake eggs; the chemical won’t be bad! Of course, sellers will be identified with a poultry farm and other supporting documents. They will be stored in the refrigerator in special packaging. It should be. Okay, the price is completely different for real eggs.
There are other but already “internal” ways to differentiate real eggs from fake ones. A fake egg, after breaking the shell and pouring the contents, you can take the “yolk” with your finger, and it will not break. It is impossible to do with a real egg – it has a thin yolk film. In addition, when a fake egg is mixed with a “protein” “yolk,” a uniform yellow appearance is obtained because the ingredients are the same in chemicals and differ only in the dye.
