LONDON: Researchers have managed to unboil an ordinary boiled egg, and the results may have implications for cancer treatments, biotechnology and a broad range of food production processes, a British daily reported on Wednesday.
“Yes, we have invented a way to unboil a hen egg,” The Independent quoted Gregory Weiss, the lead author of the study supported by the US and Australian governments, as saying.
A hard-boiled egg white represents proteins that have been cooked, tangled up and—so it was thought—irreversibly changed.
But the scientists were able to force the proteins apart into their untangled and reusable form. They added a urea substance to break down the cooked egg and then applied a high-powered machine called a “vortex fluid device” to achieve the result, the daily said.
