Perhaps it is the first time that readers have heard of artificial eggs. Actually, artificial eggs are nothing new. They have a history of 10 years. All along, there are "training bases" all over the country, and these artificial eggs are everywhere, even in Hong Kong. \ x0d \ x0d \ What are the hazards of artificial eggs? First of all, real eggs have no nutritional value. What's more, because it is made of chemicals, long-term consumption will cause brain memory decline and make people dementia. \ x0d \ x0d \ Technically speaking, fake egg's counterfeiting is becoming more and more sophisticated, and fake egg made with superb technology is even more like an egg than a real egg. In view of the "magic" of artificial egg technology, we might as well spend a little more space to see the birth process of artificial eggs. The following is a reporter's "learning" experience, from which we can appreciate the "exquisite technology" of counterfeiters. \ x0d \ x0d \ 2005 the beginning of 2005, a reporter from Guangzhou paid 560 yuan tuition and 69 yuan props to enter a "fake egg School" and attended a three-day training in order to uncover the inside story of fake egg's manufacturing. \x0d\\x0d\ On the first day, the "tutor" first demonstrated protein's production, only to see that she carefully weighed some powdered "sodium alginate" on the balance (according to the "tutor", "the weight should not be wrong, the fan should be turned off", which is as detailed as the professional's experiment), and then poured it into a pot of warm water and stirred it constantly with a glass rod. About an hour and a half later, a crystal clear protein object appeared in front of me. Then, the "tutor" mixed a small amount of chemical "gelatin" with water, poured it into the egg white and continued to stir. "Tutor" said that "gelatin can make the concentration of protein moderate, but long-term stirring will produce a lot of bubbles, which will take more than ten hours to disperse", so the first day of "course" ended. \ x0d \ x0d \ The next morning, the "instructor" mixed a proper amount of chemicals such as sodium ester, sodium benzoate, o- methylcellulose and alum into the protein prepared the day before. Three hours later, the "protein" part was officially completed. \ x0d \ x0d \ Then the "tutor" began to teach how to make "egg yolk". The so-called "egg yolk" is to add lemon yellow pigment to the protein-like object made before, and turn it into bright yellow after stirring for several times. \ x0d \ x0d \ As for how fake egg became an egg, the secret lies in a plastic mold and "fairy water" containing "calcium chloride". The plastic mold has two grooves, one oval and the other round. "Tutor" said: "Round egg yolk, pour the egg yolk into the mold, and then pour water mixed with calcium chloride on the surface, which will produce a film that can be shaped around the egg yolk. Attention, it's magic now! " \x0d\\x0d\ I saw the "tutor" pour the egg white into an oval mold, add the molded yolk, then pour another layer of protein cover, and then add a bowl of fairy water to make the outermost layer of the egg produce a film, and soon the egg shape emerges. Although the egg-shaped mold has only half a surface, once it is immersed in fairy water, protein will shake in the mold under the action of buoyancy and gradually become an egg shape. At this point, a shell-less egg that has only been peeled is presented. \x0d\\x0d\ Next comes the final and most critical "wrapping" stage. \x0d\\x0d\ "Tutor \" cooks edible paraffin with an open flame to melt it, then mixes it with gypsum powder and stirs it, then puts the fake egg into white solution and rotates it repeatedly, then takes it out, cools it and air-dries, and the complete and tangible fake egg is freshly baked. Later, the female "tutor" also taught the students "experience" and said: "The materials of artificial eggs can be bought in chemical raw materials stores, which is very convenient. Many mainland food stores will send people to study and cook in a mixed way to earn higher profits. " \x0d\\x0d\ In order to further test the taste of fake egg, while waiting for the eggshell to dry, the reporter cooked a fake egg meal with shell-free products. The first is fried "poached eggs". Although there are many blisters on the protein, it is authentic and tastes similar to real eggs, but it is alkaline. The second course is "steamed eggs", which is actually very similar to real eggs. The reporter also found that the effect of mixed steaming of true and false eggs is better. The reporter steamed with 3 fake egg and 1 real egg, the effect was smoother, and the taste and taste were more like real eggs. \ x0d \ x0d \ saw our reporter's on-the-spot investigation, which made people amazed and shocked. What is amazing is the forgery of counterfeiters. It is shocking that the more realistic the fake eggs are, the more misleading and harmful they will bring to consumers. \x0d\\x0d\ The trick to identify fake egg \x0d\\x0d\ Many people shouted "quit eggs" after seeing the fishy things inside eggs. Although their self-confidence is commendable, it is impossible and should not be advocated, because the nutritional value of eggs can not be abandoned after all. Since we can't give up, we should polish our eyes to distinguish between true and false. \x0d\\x0d\ (1) Identification of true and false free-range eggs \x0d\\x0d\ Open the shell to identify the color of yolk. If the yolk is unusually bright, it is best not to eat it. \x0d\\x0d\ (2) Distinguish true and false eggs \x0d\\x0d\ 1. Fake egg's eggshell is brighter than that of a real egg, but it is not obvious. \x0d\\x0d\2。 Touch. When touched by hand, the shell of fake eggs is rougher and thinner than that of real eggs, and some fake eggs can even clearly see artificial traces. \x0d\\x0d\3。 Listen. Shake the egg, the fake egg has a shaking feeling inside, which is caused by the coagulant overflowing water, but the fresh real egg does not. This may happen to real eggs that turn yellow after being left for too long, so we should combine other conditions to judge the authenticity. \ x0d \ x0d \ 4。 Smell it. Real eggs will have a faint taste, and fake eggs will have the taste of chemicals. \x0d\\x0d\5。 Observe the content. (1) A real egg has an air chamber, that is, there is a small bubble at the big end of the egg, which is natural, but the problem egg has no air chamber at all; (2) Beat the eggs in a bowl and touch them with your hands. If you think the egg white is thin, the egg white will soon slip from your fingers when you pour it on your hand, and the egg yolk can roll freely in your hand. That's fake egg. Because the real egg white is thick, it is difficult to separate the egg yolk from the egg white; (3) Beat the egg in a bowl, pierce the yolk and leave it for a while. If egg white and egg yolk are dissolved together, it is fake egg, because egg yolk and egg white are homogeneous raw materials.
