The yolk of the eggs have not yet fully solidified. Eggs contain multiple proteins that gel at different temperatures within the yolk and the white, and the temperature determines the gelling time. Egg yolk becomes a gel, or solidifies, between 61 and 70 °C (142 and 158 °F). Egg white gels at different temperatures: 60 to 73 °C (140 to 163 °F).
Three similarly sized eggs in a hot frying pan. Each of the two yolks in the double-yolked eggs are smaller than typical for that size of egg. Double-yolk eggs occur when ovulation occurs too rapidly, or when one yolk becomes joined with another yolk. These eggs may be the result of a young hen's reproductive cycle not yet being synchronized. [16]
Fried eggs served with Vegeta spice in Croatia Two eggs with blue cheese on a plate Two Austrian-type fried eggs painted on a bench with a frying pan next to it, Vienna. Fried eggs (Spiegeleier; singular Spiegelei) are a crucial part of such traditional German dishes as Strammer Max (the egg is fried on one side with an unbroken yolk, and served "sunny side up" atop an open ham sandwich) or ...
The vitellus, or yolk, is the nutrient-bearing portion of the egg, containing most of its fat, minerals, and many of its proteins and blood vessels; The albumen is made up of globular proteins called ovalbumin which contain over half of the egg's protein; its function is considered unknown
A raw egg yolk surrounded by the egg white. Avidin was first isolated from raw chicken egg white by Esmond Emerson Snell. Avidin was discovered by Esmond Emerson Snell (1914–2003). This discovery began with the observation that chicks on a diet of raw egg white were deficient in biotin, despite availability of the vitamin in their diet. [8]
Vitellogenesis is the process of yolk protein formation in the oocytes during sexual maturation. [2] The term vitellogenesis comes from the Latin vitellus ("egg yolk"). Yolk proteins, such as Lipovitellin and Phosvitin , provides maturing oocytes with the metabolic energy required for development.
The albumen protects the yolk and provides additional nutrition for the embryo's growth, [170] though it is made up of approximately 90% water in most birds. [171] Prior to fertilization, the yolk is a single cell ovum or egg cell; one of the few single cells that can be seen by the naked eye. [172] egg binding
The English word "devil", in reference to highly seasoned food, was in use in the 18th century, with the first known print reference appearing in 1786. [2] In the 19th century, the adjective "deviled" came to be used most often with spicy or zesty food, including eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity. [3]
