27、ng the Wildfires C Even with wonderful friends, family and a partner, I dont always want to be surrounded by people. “Table for one? Or will someone else be joining you?” A dinner reservation for one person never fails to raise a few eyebrows. I actively choose to spend time alone when possible. But

36、 you know roughly one third of food for human consumption goes to waste? Most of it is fresh fruit and vegetables that go bad. The produce dries out or goes bad, which has led scientists to develop ways of coating or sealing the food to keep it fresher for longer. Now research at Rice University rev
37、eals there might be a better way.Scientists discovered that dipping produce like strawberries and bananas into an egg-based wash is remarkably good for preserving it. The coating is extremely thick, and made from a mixture of powdered egg whites and yolks(70%), and some wood-sourced cellulose(纤维素) t
38、o act as a barrier preventing water loss.What the scientists found was that the egg wash made a significant difference in helping produce stay fresh over a two-week observation period. The appearance of the coated fruits and vegetables didnt change much, while the uncoated produce ripened and. even
39、rotted within the same time frame. The egg-based coating, as it turned out, reduced each fruits chance to get exposed to oxygen.The non-poisonous coating was found to be flexible and tests showed that it was just as tough as other products, including synthetic(合成的) films, used in produce packaging.
40、For anyone with an egg allergy, the coating can be removed by thorough washing in water and is tasteless.The scientists hope this could be a breakthrough in the fight against food waste. “Reducing food shortages in ways that are not related to genetic modification, uneatable coatings or chemical add
41、itives is important for better sustainable living ,” said materials scientist and study author Pulickel Ajayan.Whats great about this discovery is that it fights food waste in more than one way: even the coating was made from eggs that would otherwise have been discarded because they werent fit for
42、consumption. The researchers said roughly 200 million of US produced eggs go to waste annually. So if this were scaled up, it could be a win-win situation all around.32. How does the egg-based wash help keep food fresh?A. By limiting its oxygen exposureB. By making its coating less thick.C. By remov
