grades

D20071029523 What is it with Grade?

I think that the grade of an egg do not determines the protein content in it. The grading processes only examined for both interior and exterior quality and eggs are sorted according to size but not the protein content. Grade quality and the protein content are not related to one another. In descending order of quality grades are AA, A and B. From the previous experiment in the lab, I found that the A grade egg has lower protein content compared to B grade egg. The egg of ‘ayam kampung’ also has a higher content of protein compared to the A grade egg. Thus, this shows that the grade of an egg doesn’t indicate how much protein it has. The egg is a nutrient-dense food, containing high quality protein and a wide range of essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Therefore eggs can make a significant contribution to a healthy diet. We can eat eggs as they have many nutritional values, but too much intake will also cause health problem. As a conclusion, the grades of eggs do not determine the protein content in it.
