Introduction
We are from class 2-1 and this is our report for our project work.
We had to brainstorm about topic ideas for Project Work. We shortlisted down a few topics:
Mercy Relief
Animal Cruelty
Pythons
In the end, we decided to use the topic Liquid eggs Vs Fresh Eggs as the other topics were
too vague. Some of them also did not apply to the theme of service learning. Hence, after much
We read an article on liquid eggs and we were shock to find out that very little people knew about
liquid eggs and their use. We also want to convince the general public about the advantages of
choosing Liquid Eggs over Fresh Eggs, such as the elimination of bacteria through
pasteurization.

Who is our target audience?
Our target audience is mainly the housewives as they are the ones who go the market and buy
food back to cook for their families. We also included the general public into the picture as they
We want to raise awareness about liquid eggs as during an egg shortage in Singapore, the public
would not find it so difficult to switch to Liquid Eggs. We also want to find out about what is
deterring the public from buying Liquid Eggs. This will be further elaborated in the ‘targets’ section
After we did this, we started to research and conduct some experiments on the topic, LIQUID
EGGS VS FRESH EGGS, which we will describe in the next few pages.

What were our targeted results?
Our target audience will know more about liquid eggs and their benefits.
Our target audience will purchase liquid eggs as an alternative for fresh eggs.
Our target audience will then be able to keep their eggs for a longer period of time and they do
not need to worry if they but extra eggs.(If they buy liquid eggs)

What are liquid eggs?
Liquid eggs are egg whites with yellow food coloring. Liquid eggs are basically the eggs in liquid
form. Liquid eggs are often the main source of scrambled eggs at fast-food restaurants(e.g.

Statistics
LIQUID EGGS: Refer to Figure 1 note, (eggs are bubbly because soy sauce and sugar were
added.)
FRESH EGGS:

LIQUID EGGS:
Price: About 20 cents (cost about 25 per cent more than whole eggs)
Journey to the market: Regular eggs are washed, broken, mixed in tanks, pasteurised, packed
Quantity consumed: For every 100 fresh eggs consumed, 1 liquid egg is consumed.
Quantity consumed: For every 1 liquid egg consumed, 100 fresh eggs are consumed.
Both liquid eggs and fresh eggs taste similar and many people cannot tell the
difference between the both of them. There is no difference in the nutritional values of both of
them.

How many people know about liquid eggs?
Only one out of every three people knows about the existence of liquid eggs, according to a

We can create a forum, telling people about liquid eggs and how it is as good if not better than
fresh eggs.

Survey Analysis
Housewives
th
We did this survey on the 25 of June at Junction 8. The survey was a success but there were
still some difficulties that we faced. Here are some of the difficulties we faced:
Most of the people there were uninterested in our project. Only 2 out of every five
people that we asked were willing to take the survey.
Some of the people there ignored us and walked away when we approached them.
There weren't many housewives there at the time we were doing the survey.
Some of the housewives we asked didn't understand English, instead they speak
dialect. So there was the language barrier.
1. We told them who we were and told them about the survey's purpose and how their
answers would help us.
3. Most of the housewives who didn't understand English were Chinese. We figured out that
they were Chinese-speaking housewives so we spoke to them in Chinese. We figured out right
and managed to get through to them.

The Problem
Retailers are not selling these products because of lack of demand from
consumers, and consumers are not buying them because of a lack of awareness.

We did this Hands-On on the 25 of June at Junction 8. The survey was a success but there
were still some difficulties that we faced. Here are some of the difficulties we faced:
1. Trust

2. Knowledge
Many people didn't even know what they were tasting at first.

We told them who we were and told them about the Hands-on purpose and how their
results would help us.
We stationed ourselves at Junction 8's supermarket. There were more people and more
people were willing to participate in our Hands-On there.
We told them what they were tasting and briefly told them about liquid eggs.
We went to search for the Liquid Eggs on the internet and found them at Cold Storage.

Our Flyer
Liquid eggs are egg whites with yellow food coloring. They are basically eggs in
Page 19 of 27
liquid form.
They are safer to consume than fresh eggs because eating fresh eggs carry a higher
chance of diseases like salmonella. ( See Picture below )
• Liquid egg whites are low heat pasteurized, therefore having no bacteria
after this process.

Reflections
It is indeed an unusual topic for us to work on eggs as our topic in the first place.
Littering or smoking seemed to be more appropriate in the first place. However, choosing
a topic like “Pasteurized Eggs versus Fresh Eggs” is interesting because it lets us explore
new things in a totally new area.
There are several difficulties while we as a group did this project. Meeting up as a full
group was literally impossible due to our busy schedules, and that was why we never did
so besides the Project Work period. However, meeting up with smaller groups seemed to
be a more efficient choice. For example, 2 of us would do the presentation slides, 2 of us
would do the flyer and 1 person would focus on the report. This way we can fully utilize
the time till the deadline. While doing the project(taste test/cooking) , it was very time-
consuming because it was difficult to find liquid eggs because they were not sold in
common provision shops and we had to go to a supermarket. Also, we faced people who
were unwilling to help us test the taste of the food because they are "busy". However, we
can’t do anything about it because they are not obliged to help us. Even so, we were still
able to finish this taste testing in the end.
Although Project Work is time-consuming, we have benefitted greatly from it, such as
improving our skills in using the Microsoft Word and other programs we used to
complete this project. All in all, being able to complete this project is already very
fortunate and through it, we have learnt many valuable things.

Timothy Seow Hong Ann:
At the start, I thought that there would be no difficulties in completing this project. But as
the project progressed on, it was not as easy as I had expected and there were several
difficulties that my group mates and I faced. The first major difficulty was that the five of
us could not find a common date for us to meet up We ended up splitting into two groups
and doing our assigned tasks, collaborating them during our Project Work period, which
was on Thursday.
The second major difficulty was that none of us knew how to utilize Prezi™ until one of
our members found out how to operate Prezi™. Through this project, we have learned to
organize the workload between ourselves and to complete our assigned tasks on time.
Being the group leader of this project was a really stressful and tiring experience, I had to
contribute an extravagant amount of time, effort and resources towards producing the
final product of this project. Through the time span of this project, my group members
and I were faced with many unforeseen problems and circumstances and I would say, it’s
a miracle that we got so far.
The first problem that we faced was attendance for project work period. One member of
our group did not turn up for quite a few of our project work periods. He would tell us
that he needs to go for tuition and just leave. As it was becoming overly frequent, all the
group members objected and thankfully, the problem was somehow rectified as the
deadline approached.
Page 22 of 27
group literally could not be contacted at all. They left the rest of the group only their
home phone numbers. Every time I tried to call them, they were either out of their house
or showering. Later, I found out that, for some reason, didn’t give us their hand phone
numbers. After that incident, communication improved by a considerable amount.
Our schedules were also a problem, making it almost impossible to meet up during the
June holidays. To make matters worse, I travelled overseas for three weeks to attend my
sister’s commencement in America. With the 12 hours time difference and the internet
being “subject to availability” there, I could only hope that the members back home were
doing something to aid the progress of the project. When I came back and received status
report from the co-leader of the group, I was overjoyed. They managed to complete most
of the report and started on the presentation. For most of them, they were free on the last
week of the June holiday, and so we managed to complete both our hands-on and survey.
Although this project was extremely time-consuming, meaningful lessons such as the
importance of communication was learnt from it. I also feel that this project would
benefit us in future as in Junior College, projects would become an all too common thing
in our daily curricular. Hence getting to experience it first in secondary school could be
viewed as a lead over our peers in other schools. Being able to complete this project is
already a miraculous feat and I am very grateful for all the time that everyone has put in
to the project.
Jeremy Foo:
I feel that this project has been a meaningful one for me as I learnt about a subject that
before the project I had no idea about, which was the fact that there was such a lack of
awareness about liquid eggs and common perceptions of people in Singapore regarding
eggs.
Problems I encountered include the hands-on part of the project, where I had to face
problems of convincing people to eat the egg samples, and getting people to help us with
our survey. However, thanks to our persistence and effort to make the survey and the
eggs as presentable as possible, we finally managed to convince enough people to do our
surveys and sample our egg samples.
Another problem I received was how to go about doing our presentation. I eventually
decided on prezi (the online presentation tool) as it had an interesting appearance and I
could organize information easily as I just needed to add links to include new
information. Due to our extensive research of our report, I also had to correctly piece out
Page 23 of 27
important information from the less important ones of the presentation, as we had limited
time to present.
However, there were also various interesting moments during our project, for example
when we looked around the neighborhood for people that were willing to try our eggs, we
encountered people(including housewives) who had no idea what liquid eggs were, hence
I feel that our project will have a impact on the people of Singapore. Our flyers regarding
our project were also very interesting and hopefully the people who read it will be
influenced to buy liquid eggs as an alternative to fresh eggs.
Overall, I feel that our group had made a difference by doing this project and I feel a
continuous commitment to our cause is important as we continue to strive toward our
achievement of spreading the awareness of liquid eggs in Singapore. This project has
definitely been an enriching one for me and has provided me with new insight about the
different kinds of eggs, information I can definitely use in the future.
Darren Foo:
While doing this project, I learnt two things- skills and information. Firstly, I learnt more
about the subject I was doing on, liquid eggs. Before doing this project, I did not really
know about the existence of liquid eggs. After researching while doing this project, I
have learnt that liquid eggs are a much safer alternative for eggs-they reduce the chance
of us getting diseases, thus is good for us. While doing this project, I discovered a lot of
interesting facts about both eggs and liquid eggs that I would not have known had I not
done this project. Doing this project has let me learnt this new info that I would not have
bothered to read.
Next, I shall explain how I have learnt many skills while doing this project. I learnt
certain skills, such as the skills on how to find information. As much information I
researched proved to be not useful, I had to filter and find the useful ones. After this, we,
as a group, had to decide what information was going to be used.
Next, I learnt more about working in a group. I learnt many things while working in the
group. We faced many troubles while working as a group, like finding an appropriate
time to meet up and work on our project. Besides this, we also had to decide on what
ideas where good and what ideas could not be used. However, I feel it was a good
experience.
Doing this project, we also faced the difficulty of making choices, picking from the wide
selection given to us by our IT teacher.
