Adding hydrochloric acid (HCl) to egg white can enhance digestion by denaturing the proteins, making them more accessible for enzymatic breakdown. The acidic environment created by HCl activates pepsin, an enzyme that further digests proteins into smaller peptides. This process mimics the natural conditions in the stomach, where gastric acid aids in protein digestion. Overall, HCl facilitates more efficient protein breakdown in egg whites.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to egg white pepsin and hydrochloric acid after 6 hours?
After 6 hours, egg white will be partially digested by pepsin, which breaks down proteins into smaller peptides. The hydrochloric acid will continue to provide the acidic environment necessary for pepsin to function optimally. Overall, there will be a decrease in the amount of egg white and changes in its composition due to digestion.

The green color in your cracked egg may be due to a natural pigment called biliverdin, which can sometimes be present in the egg white. This pigment is harmless and does not affect the taste or quality of the egg.
Where in the body would you find conditions like egg white pepsin and hyrochloric acid?
You would find egg white pepsin in the stomach, as it is an enzyme that helps with protein digestion. Hydrochloric acid is also found in the stomach, where it helps to break down food and kill bacteria.
Should you whisk the egg whites before adding to your Betty Crocker White Cake Mix?
