Abstract

This article presents a discussion on why the egg white turns green when the juice from cooked red cabbage is poured on it. A high school teacher says that red-cabbage juice is a good indicator of whether a substance is an acid or an alkali. And egg white is alkaline. Another person says that the juice of a red cabbage contains flavin, a type of anthocyanin which acts as pH indicator.
