Why can't oxygen make egg shells turn to rubber?

Oxygen has no softening effect on the calcium compounds found in egg shells. However, acetic acid (vinegar) will cause egg shells to dissolve completely by forming calcium acetate from the calcium carbonate. This will leave the rubbery inner membrane of the egg.


What are the main ingredients in egg shells?

calcium carbonate The egg shell consists of about 94 to 97% calcium carbonate. The other three percent is organic matter and egg shell pigment. There are also as many as 8,000 microscopic pores in the shell itself. The outer coating of the shell itself consists of a mucous coating called the cuticle or bloom which is deposited on the shell just prior to lay.This protein like covering helps protect the interior contents of the egg from bacteria penetration through the shell. Egg shell quality is determined by the color, shape, and structure of the shell. Colors can range from white to tints to brown and egg shape can also vary. Answer from: Dr. Ken W.

Is there calcium in eggs?

According to USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference - Release 23 website: see link below, one large poached egg weighing 50 grams contains 69 mg. In Release 22 of that database, one large poached egg weighing 50 grams contained 66 mg. The method of preparing an egg has little effect on its potassium content, so if you look at the other entries in the database for eggs, there is only a slight variation in potassium content. An egg would be considered a low potassium food.
