What is Egg Yolk Powder?
Egg yolk powder is derived from fresh eggs and represents an excellent alternative to fresh eggs. Possessing superior emulsification properties, egg yolk powder is an ideal ingredient for use in biscuits, chicken bouillon, egg yolk pies, instant noodles, ice cream, extruded snacks, and premium animal feed, offering enhanced quality attributes compared to standard eggs.
The dried egg sector has experienced considerable growth in recent years, with yolk powder constituting a significant segment. Typically, yolk powder comprises approximately 30% protein, 38% triglycerides, and 19% phospholipids, alongside trace amounts of sugars, minerals, vitamins, pigments, and enzymes.
Yolk powder production utilizes fresh eggs as the primary raw material, undergoing a stringent process involving sampling inspection, egg washing, disinfection, spraying, drying, egg breaking, separation, filtration, homogenization, pasteurization, and subsequent spray drying – a sequence encompassing over ten individual steps. This meticulous manufacturing process culminates in a superior alternative to fresh eggs, boasting exceptional emulsification capabilities. It is a valuable component in the creation of biscuits, chicken bouillon, egg yolk pies, instant noodles, ice cream, puffed snacks, and high-quality animal feeds, delivering advantages that surpass those of conventional eggs.

Function
Egg yolk powder is a highly nutritious food ingredient. As a natural food emulsifier, it finds widespread application in the food processing industry. Predominantly, egg yolk powder serves as a source for lecithin extraction in both the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as being directly incorporated into bakery products, frozen desserts (such as ice cream and gelato), and nutritionally complete formula foods. The emulsifying action of egg yolk powder is principally attributable to its lipoprotein content, especially low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which accounts for approximately 65% of its total protein, and its constituent lecithin (representing about 75% of its phospholipid content). Protein contributes significantly to emulsification, surpassing the effect of phospholipids alone. Pasteurization is essential for improving the microbiological safety of egg products. However, egg yolk begins to solidify around 65°C, leading to a substantial decline in its emulsifying capacity, particularly in products with high oil content, such as mayonnaise (which can contain 70-80% oil in an oil-in-water system). These products place high demands on egg yolk emulsification, and pasteurization can therefore negatively impact the final product. Insufficient sterilization will result in a limited product shelf-life, while excessive sterilization can cause product separation, severely affecting its sensory qualities.
Application
Whole egg powder is widely utilized in the food industry and as a feed additive.
