An egg's sulfur content is about 50 mg in the white and about 25 mg in the yolk. Adding to an egg's normal smell (which is not particularly smelly!) are a number of volatile constituents, including sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl trisulfide. Hydogen sulfide is very smelly, it smells of...bad eggs!

∙ 11y agoThis is because eggs contain sulfur in the yolk. When eggs are fried or scrambled, this sulfur is in the form of calcium sulfate, but when boiled, the sulfate molecule decomposes to sulfite, SO2. This is why you smell sulfer.
