27. Eggs For Aeration
• Distinct cellular structure from eggs’
leavening action
• Structural framework helps to hold
product together
• Increased volume for lighter foods
• Airy texture and smooth mouth-feel, air bubbles
decrease in size and increase in number
• More integrated, sponge-like texture, as more air
is incorporated the foam becomes stiff
When eggs are beaten, air is incorporated,
creating a lighter, more air-filled product.
28. • Colloidial dispersion in
which a gaseous phase is
dispersed in a liquid
phase
• air trapped during beating
• air bubbles decrease in
size and increase in
number
• as more air is
incorporated the foam
becomes stiff
Foaming/Surface Activity
29. • Foam ability (volume) due to
ovalbumin
• Foam stability due to
ovomucin
• Yolk contamination -”fat
bullets” destroy foam
Foaming/Surface Activity
30. Factors Affecting Egg Foams
• Degree of beating
• Blending
• Homogenizing
• Temperature
• pH
• Fat
• Salt
• Water
• Manipulation
• Heat
• Copper
• Sugar
• Acid
31. Additives Affecting Foams
Ability of High Whip Egg
Whites
• Whipping aids and stabilizers
• Triethyl citrate -liquid egg white
• Sodium lauryl sulfate- dried egg
products
• Gums such as xanthan-stabilizers
32. High-Gel Egg White
• Higher hot-room pasteurization temperatures (>60°C/
140°F) improve gelation properties
• More alkaline pHs (pH 11) and lower pHs
(e.g. pH 5.0) improve gelation properties
• Some egg processors have their own proprietary
process to produce high-gel egg white
36. FROZEN EGG YOLK
PRODUCTS
• Frozen yolk has 10 %
salt or sugar added to
prevent irreversible
protein gelation.
Result is a smooth
creamy, viscous yolk.
• Great for emulsions
such as mayonnaise
and savory sauces
38. Emulsification
The phospholipids, lipoproteins and proteins found
in egg yolks are surface active agents that enable
the formation of emulsions from immiscible liquids
such as oil and water.
• A stable mixture of two immiscible liquid phases,
one which is dispersed in the other
• Egg yolks can be used to fortify whole egg blends
to increase emulsifying action
• No essential differences are found in emulsifying
properties of dried whole egg and yolk and fresh
liquid eggs
39. Definition of Emulsions
• Mixture containing two liquid phases that are
normally immiscible under ordinary conditions

Emulsions/Surface Activity
41. Good Stable Emulsion
• Should be viscous to hold suspended ingredients
in place
• Droplets dispersed (oil or water) should be small
enough to remain in suspension and should be
evenly distributed throughout the matrix
Applications
• Mayonnaise
• Hollandaise sauce
• Salad dressings
• Baked goods
42. • Eggs (containing the emulsifier lecithin and
other lipoproteins) bind the ingredients
together and prevent separation.
• Mayonnaise is made by combining
lemon juice or vinegar with egg yolks.
• Chocolate- all chocolate contains
lecithin
• Bread- give texture and volume
Emulsification
44. Thickening & Coagulation
Whipping or heating allows products that contain eggs
to thicken and/or coagulate, converting the mixture
from a liquid state to a solid or semi-solid state.
• Can use both yolks and whites
• Proteins denature
• Binds products naturally
• Suspends other ingredients
• Gelling agents in custards
• Thickening agents in soft pie fillings when the
egg custard is heated
• Creates texture and height
• When the egg foam is heated, creates
structural stability
45. Factors Affecting Coagulation
• Heat - protein denaturation
• Mechanical means - beating, chopping
• Sugar - raises temp. of coagulation
• Acids - decrease temperature of
coagulation
• Alkali - high alkali can induce gelling of
egg white
46. Changes in structure of egg proteins (yolk and
albumen) resulting in thickening or change from a
fluid to solid or semi-solid state
Thickening & Coagulation
47. Coating & Binding
With heat, egg coagulation imparts rigidity causing
mixtures to gel and ingredients to adhere.
• Egg white is an excellent binding ingredient
• No essential differences are found in binding
properties of dried whole egg and yolk and those
of fresh liquid eggs
49. Coating and Binding
Glaze Result
Egg + Salt Less intense shine, golden surface
Egg + Milk Medium shiny surface
Egg + Water Shiny surface
Egg yolk + Water Shiny golden surface
Egg yolk + Cream Shiny brown surface
Egg white Light colored, crisp surface
Egg white + Water and
nuts and/or seeds
Sticky surface for adhering nuts and/or seeds
Egg white + Milk Transparent shiny surface
51. Humectancy & Shelf Life
• Eggs improve cell structure and enable products
to maintain structure during
baking, thus reducing moisture loss from baked
products
• Egg proteins also bind water, making it
less available for microorganisms to grow
and cause spoilage
52. Flavor & Color
• Eggs contain fats which
carry and meld flavors
in food products
• Eggs add flavor and
enhance other flavors
• Egg yolks impart rich
color and are used to
fortify whole egg blends
for a deeper color
in baked products
