Show FINDS NEW WAY TO STORE EGGS small amounts of carbon dioxide will be big aid eggs can be better preserved if they are stored where there Is a certain amount of carbon dioxide in the air according to paul F sharp ot of the new w york state collego college of agriculture t u r who liag has just published tile the results of some experiments on eggs in science eggs ggs stored in ordinary clr spoil rapidly after they lose the carbon dl oxide which Is a part of the egg As soon as an egg Is laid it starts to become more moie alkaline and this hastens decay this alkaline tendency however can bo be easily and conveniently neutralized and controlled if the eggs are placed where the air contains small amounts of carbon dioxide this discovery lias has a practical result because carbon dioxide can call lie be introduced into cold storage rooms in amounts which greatly retard the destructive tive changes in the eggs and yet the amount in the air will not be enough to prevent workmen from entering the storage rooms carbon dioxide can be used also in shipping containers and in refrigerator cars A convenient source of tills this gas can bo be used such as the solid form or the gas form in cylinders professor sharp says the hie only method of preserving eggs which approaches this one in cheapness and practicability Is the oil dipping method in which eggs egg are dipped in a suitable oil w which bach very nearly seals the pores the carbon dioxide method Is superior to tile oil method because the whites of the oil dipped eggs become cloudy in storage those preserved by the carbon are not cloudy after the eggs are removed from the air which contains the carbon dioxide |
