Louisiana State University researchers say they've developed a way to extend the shelf life of raw eggs.

Their patented process uses a water-soluble chitosan derived from crustacean shells to create a protective barrier against moisture loss and bacterial contamination.

Eggs that have this protective coating can remain safe and edible for up to seven weeks at room temperature.
