when you cook an egg why does the egg white change from clear to white?

Answer 1

HEAT.

RED MEAT CHANGES BROWN>

Answer 2

All proteins, including those in egg white, are made of long chains of amino acids which are similar to beads on a string. In a raw egg, these strings are raveled up in a tangled compact mass. Chemical bonds and interactions between the amino acids within each protein hold this mass in a specific shape and stop it from unraveling. As an egg cooks, the heat causes the bonds within the proteins to break, a process called denaturation. As these proteins strings unfold and entangle with other proteins, new bonds form between these amino acids and the amino acids of neighboring proteins, causing the texture change in a cooked egg.

Copper (II) sulphate can also cause the same reaction, when egg albumen is placed with a strong concentration of copper sulphate, the egg white will rapidly denaturate and turn opaque, and form entangled white threads of protein, which you will see when cooking egg whites.

Answer 3

the egg "whites" are made from proteins, so when you cook the egg white, you are denaturing the proteins (denaturing means changing the shape of the protein molecule). It's all due to the heat from the frying pan.

Answer 4

The heat denatures (destroys) the proteins, which makes it turn white.

Answer 5

it is caused by heat it goes from liquid form to solid same as ice but ice is caused cold again it went from a lquid to a solid

Answer 6

Heat.

Answer 7

Why doesnt it?
