Eggshells are one of the solid wastes in the world and are considered hazardous according to European Commission regulations. The utilization of solid wastes, like eggshells, will help create a sustainable environment by minimizing the solid wastes that are disposed into the environment. The utilization of eggshell…

Eggshell waste is among of the most abundant agro-waste material discharged from food processing industries. Despite the exceptional properties and several applications, eggshell is castoff in huge quantity without any further use. This review paper focuses on appraising the potential uses of eggshell waste as a…

'Ao Zhou' 'Zhi-Qi He' 'Feng Zhang' 'Lei Gao'] Using eggshell powder (EP) to replace partial cement in cement-based materials can abate pollution caused by eggshell discard and cement production. In this paper, the surface property of EP and its influence on cement hydration were studied. Quartz powder (QP) and…

'Bartosz Kulczyński' 'Anna Brzozowska' 'Joanna Suliburska' 'Natalia Wawrzyniak' 'Anna Gramza-Michałowska' 'Alessandra Durazzo' 'Martin David Rose'] Food waste, such as eggshell, can be an environmental problem if it is not properly managed. One of the ways to solve this is by using the eggshell as the cheap calcium…

'Bo Zhao' 'Guoping Xiong'] The management of the abundant eggshell biowaste produced worldwide has become a problematic issue due to the generated odor and microorganisms after directly disposing eggshell biowaste in landfills. Herein, we propose a novel method to convert the hazardous eggshell biowaste to valuable…

The present article, based on reverse logistic, provides an environmentally beneficial and cost-effective method of producing calcium phosphate bioceramics (potassium calcium phosphates) aimed for soil conditioning, by a free-solvent mechanochemical process between eggshell waste and KH2PO4. The K3CaH(PO4)2 and…

Rates of peptide bond hydrolysis and other diagenetic reactions are not favourable for Mesozoic protein survival. Proteins hydrolyse into peptide fragments and free amino acids that, in open systems such as bone, can leach from the specimen and be further degraded. However, closed systems are more likely to retain…

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of adding eggshell membrane (ESM), a by-product of the chicken egg processing industry, to emulsified meat models with different NaCl concentrations. The aim was to see if ESM could help reduce the amount of NaCl that is usually added to this type of product. The effects…

Up to 40% of the world’s population now live in areas where dengue mosquito vectors coexist with humans. Aedes aegypti are vectors for zoonotic diseases that affect hundreds of millions of individuals per year globally. We recently identified the eggshell organizing factor 1 (EOF1) protein using systematic RNA…

Biological materials exhibit complex structure-property relationships which are only beginning to be elucidated. Understanding the underlying physical mechanisms of the structureproperty relationships is the key to designing bioinspired materials. The eggshell is an excellent example because many design trade-offs are…

The avian palaeognath phylogeny has been recently revised significantly due to the advancement of genome-wide comparative analyses and provides the opportunity to trace the evolution of the microstructure and crystallography of modern dinosaur eggshells. Here, eggshells of all major clades of Palaeognathae (including…

Eggs are key ingredients in our kitchens because of their nutritional values and functional properties such as foaming, emulsifying and gelling, offering a wide variety of culinary achievements. They also constitute ideal objects to illustrate a myriad of scientific concepts. In this article, we focus on several…
