Technical Information

  • Composition: Contains proteins, lipids, phospholipids (notably lecithin), vitamins, and immunoglobulin Y.

  • Functional Properties:

    • Emulsifier: Stabilizes oil–water mixtures (e.g., mayonnaise, dressings).

    • Coloring agent: Provides a rich golden-yellow hue.

    • Texture enhancer: Improves creaminess and mouthfeel in desserts and sauces.

    • Flavor contributor: Adds depth and richness to baked goods and dairy products.

  • Equivalency: 1 kg of powder ≈ 115 fresh egg yolks.

Production Process

  1. Separation: Egg yolks are separated from whites.

  2. Pasteurization: Heat treatment eliminates microbial risks.

  3. Drying: Typically spray-dried into a fine powder.

  4. Stabilization: Moisture content is controlled for shelf stability.

  5. Packaging: Sealed in moisture-proof containers for long storage.

Applications

  • Bakery & Pastry: Cakes, cookies, creams, and fillings for color, flavor, and consistency.

  • Ice Cream: Controls crystallization, enhances smoothness and creaminess.

  • Bread & Dough Products: Improves texture, moisture balance, and appearance.

  • Sauces & Dressings: Acts as an emulsifier in mayonnaise, salad dressings, and creamy sauces.

  • Functional Foods: Immunoglobulin Y content adds nutritional and functional value.

  • Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Used for moisturizing and nourishing properties in creams and formulations.

Why It Is Preferred

  • Shelf life: Long-lasting, stable at room temperature.

  • Hygiene: Pasteurization ensures safety and reduces contamination risk.

  • Consistency: Standardized dosing guarantees uniform product quality.

  • Logistics: Easier transport and storage compared to fresh eggs.
