Explanation:
So, now we know a little about what eggs are made of, what’s actually going on when we cook one? This is largely a consequence of what happens to the proteins in the egg when we heat them. To begin with, in a raw egg the long protein molecules are individually coiled up. However, as we heat them, these chains begin to unfold, a process known as ‘denaturing’. Once unravelled, the proteins form a three-dimensional network, trapping water into tiny pockets in the network, and causing solidification. The egg white changes from being transparent to opaque due to the clustered protein network deflecting light instead of allowing it to pass through.
Hope this will help
