| contents | Upon heating, egg yolk transforms from a liquid to a gel due to protein denaturation. This process can serve as a useful model to better understand protein denaturation in general. Using x-ray holographic tomography, we investigated the structural changes in egg yolk during boiling without the need for complex sample fixation or drying. Our results reveal a developing separation between proteins and lipids, with fatty components rapidly aggregating into large globules that subsequently evolve into bubbles. |
