A Spanish company has achieved what seemed impossible: pasteurizing eggs without cracking them. The process, kept as an industrial secret akin to the Coca-Cola formula, eliminates bacteria like salmonella and extends the product's shelf life up to two months. The question that arises is straightforward: who keeps the same eggs in the fridge for 60 days.
Thermal vacuum-sealed technology 🥚
The method, developed by the firm Huevos Guillén, uses a hot water bath controlled with millimeter precision. The eggs are submerged at a specific temperature that eliminates pathogens without coagulating the egg white or damaging the yolk. The key lies in the exact duration of the treatment and a subsequent rapid cooling process. The entire process is kept under industrial secrecy, which has led to comparisons with the hidden recipe of the cola beverage.
The egg that survives your next move 🏠
With this technology, you could buy eggs, forget them in the fridge, go on vacation, return, and find them just as fresh. You could also use them to measure the time between two deep cleanings of the refrigerator. Of course, if someone finds a dozen forgotten for two months, they shouldn't be alarmed: it's not a biological experiment, it's the future of the poultry industry.
