Older eggs have thinner shells and their whites can beat to a larger volume due to decreased viscosity. However, this makes them less stable and more prone to collapsing during heating. Freshness affects the structure of the egg white proteins, with older eggs having proteins that are more easily denatured and whipped into a foam, but this foam is less stable.
