about egg
« on: October 05, 2009, 07:42:44 PM »
Today, a question occurred on my mind when I cook a egg. The protein expanded when it is heated. I am wondering what chemical process has happened to the egg?
Do you think you can give me any suggestions or materials to find the answer?
Cheers.

Sure! It's called denaturation. Here is a link to Wikipedia and it has a section on denaturation.

Keep on thinking!
