What are Processed Egg Products?

Further, processed egg products are defined as eggs that are treated and altered in different ways to allow their shelf life, ease of use, or to meet certain culinary requirements. Processed egg products include liquid eggs, which are usually pasteurized; powdered eggs resulting from spray drying; and other finished egg products like scrambled eggs or an omelet easy to eat. Such products are bought for food services and retail stores, so people’s interaction with convenient foods does not deprive them of nutrients.

The most significant activities in establishing a facility for processed egg production include raw egg acquisition and preservation. The eggs have to be cooked properly in order to get rid of all the dangerous bacteria while making sure that all nutrients are not eradicated. For liquid egg products, the pasteurization equipment is considered as vital equipment while for the production of powdered eggs, the spray drying system should be considered essential equipment. The quality of the eggs determines how well the functional properties such as emulsification and foaming are preserved thus control of temperature and processing time is crucial for processing eggs safely. 

Packaging is a very important aspect in the shelf life and safety of processed egg products. Mainly vacuum packing and some other modern packaging methods can effectively avoid the spoiling of food items and their contamination. Thus, we offer all the consulting services you may need to guarantee your products are of the highest quality and safety and are appreciated by consumers.

Methods of Processed Eggs Production

  1. Collection and Testing: The eggs are bought from farms and then sorted for quality and then put through quality tests and meets set standards. In the production processes only quality eggs are used in the processes.
  2. Breaking and Separation: The eggs can further be mechanically broken and if required, yolks and whites are separated. This step can maintain the exact control over the range of components that the final product is to contain.
  3. Pasteurization: These liquid egg components are pasteurized in order to remove viruses and bacteria that may be dangerous for the human body. This includes exposing the eggs to a certain degree of heat for sometime in the cycle.
  4. Drying: Pasteurized eggs are dried by two methods they include spray drying and freeze drying methods. Spray drying occurs when the liquid eggs are blown into a chamber full of hot air in order to minimize the moisture and obtain egg powder. Freeze drying entails donating the eggs and withdrawing water through change of state, from the solid phase directly to gas.
  5. Packaging: The egg powders are stored in well sealed packets to avoid elaboration of moisture and other contaminants. Proper labeling also has information that will assist to indicate the reconstitution and usage of a medication.
  6. Production Method of Liquid Egg
  7. The production of liquid eggs involves several steps to ensure they are safe, convenient, and retain their nutritional properties:
  8. Collection and Testing: As many of you may already know, new eggs are gathered and later on sorted and graded as well as tested for quality and fitness for consumption. The best variety of eggs is used in the preparation in order to come up with the best production.
  9. Breaking and Separation: The eggs are cracked mechanically and if required, further, the yolk is separated from the egg white. This is important to control the composition of the final product as would be required.
  10. Blending: In this case, the egg components are mixed until they become homogenised. Whole liquid eggs are produced combined from the yolk and white.
  11. Pasteurization: The liquid eggs are heat treated to get rid of the disease causing bacteria. This involves steeping the eggs in hot water to a certain temperature for a particular amount of time.
  12. Packaging: The liquid eggs are put in cartons on containers which are punctual for pouring as well as storage. The use of labels also offers information such as how to use them and where to store them.
