Burn-induced physiological changes in skin layers: A macroscopic study using the chicken egg chorion model

Abstract

Burn injuries affect skin in progressive layers, ranging from superficial to full-thickness damage.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the visible effects of different stages of burns using the chorion layer of the chicken eggshell membrane as a biological model of the skin barrier.

Hypothesis: It was initially expected that the chorion, due to its thin nature, would show minimal visible damage at lower temperatures and rapid significant changes under high-temperature exposure.

Methods: The chorion was isolated from the inner membrane of fresh chicken eggs and subjected to three levels of thermal exposure: mild heat (50–60°C), boiling water (100°C), and direct contact with a heated metal. Samples were observed for visible damage or changes in color, texture, and structural integrity.
