Yes, an egg does shrink if put it into syrup.
There was less syrup in the cup with the egg, as some of the syrup had been displaced by the egg when it was added.
The volume of liquid remaining when the egg is removed from the syrup is the same as the initial volume before the egg was added to the syrup. The egg displaces its own volume in the syrup, so when it is removed, the liquid level returns to its original state.
The measured volume decreases by the volume of the egg. However, the volume of just the liquid never changes.Read more: What_is_the_volume_of_liquid_remaining_when_the_egg_is_removed_from_the_syrup
When you soak an egg in salt water, the egg will float because the salt water is denser than the egg, decreasing its overall density. This is due to the process of osmosis, where water moves from an area of low salt concentration (inside the egg) to an area of high salt concentration (the salt water), causing the egg to float.
Mooncakes typically contain lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or sweetened mung bean paste as the filling, wrapped in a thin pastry skin. They may also include salted duck egg yolks for extra richness and flavor. Other common ingredients in mooncakes include nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.
An egg gets bigger when placed in pancake syrup due to the process of osmosis. The syrup is hypertonic compared to the egg's contents, causing water to move out of the egg through its semi-permeable shell to balance the concentration of solutes. As the egg loses water, it shrinks slightly, but the syrup's high sugar concentration can cause the egg to absorb some syrup, leading to an increase in size overall. This results in the egg appearing larger as it absorbs some of the syrup's moisture.
The Saltwater shrinks the egg because salt shrinks anything
It shrinks into a smaller size. When an egg is placed in syrup the water moves out and causes a decrease in its mass. This is a result of Osmosis occurring, since water moves to higher solute.

When an egg is placed in Kary syrup the egg releases the water inside of it to achieve diffusion. There is a higher concentration of water in the egg than in the Karo syrup. When you touch the egg after it was left in the Karo syrup overnight you will find that it collapses under your touch because it has lost some of its volume (the water). The egg will also shrink in size.
The egg gets sticky.
When an egg is placed in syrup, it undergoes osmosis, where water moves out of the egg into the syrup, causing the egg to shrink. The syrup's high concentration of solutes creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the egg's contents. As a result, the egg decreases in size and may appear wrinkled or shriveled. This process highlights the effects of osmotic pressure on cells in different solutions.
The volume of liquid remaining when the egg is removed from the syrup is the same as the initial volume before the egg was added to the syrup. The egg displaces its own volume in the syrup, so when it is removed, the liquid level returns to its original state.
this is an age old question that dates back to king Auvergne in the gaul state of france. it shrinks because of the hyper comduenciation happening inside the egg. the salt water reacts with this so it shrinks, it also shrinks because the salt in the water kills the potential baby chicken inside the egg, once this space is not needed the egg contracts to keep from wasting space. hope this helps you.
Corn syrup
it absorbs a majority of the corn syrup and sores it in it's membrane
The corn syrup did not enter the shell-less egg due to osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. The concentrated corn syrup has a lower water concentration compared to the egg's interior, causing water to move out of the egg to balance the concentration gradient. This results in the egg shrinking rather than the syrup entering. The egg's membrane allows water to pass through but is less permeable to larger solute particles like those in corn syrup.
