Eggs Hydrogen Sulfide Content
On whether eggs contain hydrogen sulfide
People in the world often doubt that eggs contain hydrogen sulfide? This argument has been around for a long time, and there are many opinions.
The formation of a man's egg comes from the breeding of poultry. The egg is covered with a shell, which contains egg white and egg yolk. The first-born egg smells of odor. However, as time goes by, if it is placed in an uncomfortable environment, or after a long time, it will gradually develop odor.
Or the sulfur-containing substance in the egg. In the egg white, there is no shortage of sulfur-containing protein. When the environment of the egg changes, microorganisms breed and multiply, and its metabolism can decompose the sulfur-containing substance. Sulfur may turn into hydrogen sulfide after a series of biochemical changes. This hydrogen sulfide has a pungent odor and a rotten egg-like smell, which is easy for everyone to identify.
To prove that there is hydrogen sulfide in eggs, various experimental methods can be applied. Take a few eggs, break them, and place them in a closed vessel. After a while, if you smell the rancid smell, use a wet lead acetate test paper to test it. If the test paper turns black, it proves that there is hydrogen sulfide in the eggs. The combination of hydrogen sulfide and lead acetate produces lead sulfide, and its color is black. This is clear evidence.
However, there are also eggs, which are properly preserved and not disturbed by microorganisms. If their internal biochemical reactions do not cause sulfide to become hydrogen sulfide, there is no such odor or change in the test strip.
From the perspective of the egg itself, or the substance containing potential hydrogen sulfide. However, whether it produces hydrogen sulfide depends on the state of preservation and the duration of time. If it is well preserved, it can be kept fresh and less rancid hydrogen sulfide will be produced. If it is lost to maintenance, hydrogen sulfide will be easy to produce and eggs will gradually rot.
