Egg white contains a lot of water and almost all of its dry matter consists of protein.
In egg white, proteins are present in solution with a small amount of salt and carbohydrates.
Egg white consists of ovalbumin, conalbumin, ovoglobulin, and glucoproteins (ovomucoid and ovomucin).
In addition, egg white has antimicrobial properties that make it difficult for microorganisms to reproduce, and the high pH = 8.3 of egg white negatively affects the development of microorganisms.
Egg white powder is obtained by drying egg white. It consists only of albumins. By mixing with water, egg white is obtained again.
One of the powder production stages is pasteurization, and since this process is done, there is no need for cooking or heat treatment after mixing with water.
Advantages:
- It is a savings in dishes where only egg whites are used and the yolk is unnecessary.
- Since it is stored at room temperature, it is not expected to reach room temperature; no waste of time.
- Shelf life is quite long.
- It is used to make low-cholesterol and fat-free meals.
- It is easy to transport.
Some, but not all varieties, are pasteurized as a precaution against salmonella infection.
Generally, egg white powder is used in the bakery products industry. It is particularly common in sponge cakes. Unlike fresh egg white, it foams more quickly and results in a lighter, fluffy cake, much easier to work with than eggs.
In cream, egg white powder is whipped more easily than fresh egg white. In addition, the bowl in which the whisking is made is easier to clean. It is more useful in terms of cleaning as there is no problem of separating egg shells and yolk.
Egg white powder is increasing its popularity day by day, as it reduces the processes in production and prevents the waste of egg yolk.
