  2. Eggshell membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggshell_membrane

    Eggshell membrane is the clear film lining the chicken eggshell displayed. Eggshell membrane or shell membrane is the clear film lining eggshells, visible when one peels a boiled bird egg. Chicken eggshell membranes are used as a dietary supplement. Eggshell membrane is derived commercially from the eggshells of industrial processors.

  3. Eggshell membrane separation process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggshell_membrane...

    Eggshell membrane separation is a recycling process to separate the protein-rich eggshell membrane from the eggshell. Nearly 30% of the eggs consumed each year are broken and processed or powdered into foods such as cakes, mixes, mayonnaise, noodles and fast foods. [1] The US food industry generates 150,000 tons of shell waste a year. [2]

  4. Eggshell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggshell

    Recent inventions have allowed for the egg cracking industry to separate the eggshell from the eggshell membrane. The eggshell is mostly made up of calcium carbonate and the membrane is valuable protein. When separated both products have an array of uses. [citation needed]

  5. Egg cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cell

    Human egg cell. The egg cell or ovum (pl.: ova) is the female reproductive cell, or gamete, [1] in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, female gamete and a smaller, male one). The term is used when the female gamete is not capable of movement (non-motile).

  6. Egg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg

    Reptile eggs, bird eggs, and monotreme eggs are laid out of water and are surrounded by a protective shell, either flexible or inflexible. Eggs laid on land or in nests are usually kept within a warm and favorable temperature range while the embryo grows. When the embryo is adequately developed it hatches, i.e., breaks out of the egg's shell.

  7. Phosphatidylcholine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylcholine

    Phosphatidylcholine is a major constituent of cell membranes and pulmonary surfactant, and is more commonly found in the exoplasmic or outer leaflet of a cell membrane. It is thought to be transported between membranes within the cell by phosphatidylcholine transfer protein (PCTP). [3]

  8. Egg white - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_white

    Egg white makes up around two-thirds of a chicken egg by weight. Water constitutes about 90% of this, with protein, trace minerals, fatty material, vitamins, and glucose contributing the remainder. [3] A raw U.S. large egg contains around 33 grams of egg white with 3.6 grams of protein, 0.24 grams of carbohydrate and 55 milligrams of sodium.

  9. Extracellular polymeric substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_polymeric...

    Phycobiliproteins are water soluble light-capturing proteins, produced by cyanobacteria, and several algae. These pigments have been explored as fluorescent tags, food coloring agents, cosmetics, and immunological diagnostic agents. Most of these pigments are synthesized and accumulated intracellularly.
