Egg Replacement - What Are The Options? a NewProtein Special Focus


Manufacturers of foods containing eggs face challenging times with supply chain issues due to the culling of flocks from avian flu, increased production costs being passed on, and increasing consumer trends for vegan and allergen-free formulations.

Eggs are often a key component of food products, particularly bakery products, where they are responsible for taste, texture, and mouth feel. In this NewProtein Special Focus, as well as an overview of egg replacement ingredients, we showcase some alternatives to chicken eggs that new product developers and reformulators could consider either for reducing or completely replacing eggs.

Discover how ProteinDistillery is taking apart spent brewers' yeast and rebuilding it into an 'egg-like' protein ideal for vegan bakery or alt meat formulationsrevyve are also upcycling brewers' spent yeast into egg replacers.

Arla Foods offers Nutrilac®, again a repurposed 'waste' product that can be used to substitute up to 50% egg in bakery products without compromising on taste and texture. Palsgaard has a very versatile egg reduction solution suitable for a wide range of products. Their Senior Applications Specialist shares the secret of functional ingredients and how egg-free cakes are now very achievable. Again aimed at bakeries, Nepra Foods' plant-based Egg White Replacement Powder creates a great structure in baked goods, like the structure of a meringue, which is especially good for gluten-free goods which lack the stabilising effects of gluten.

Novel approaches to new egg substitutes include Shiru’s Flourish™ platform, which identifies potentially exciting proteins; then, using precision fermentation, their partners, Puratos, will produce prototype quantities and perform application testing in baked goods.

Aquafaba ChickP isolate is a highly functional clean-label emulsifier allowing manufacturers to whip up vegan creams, sauces, and dressings as it hits key notes in sensory and flavor qualities.

Lastly, we take a closer look at the issue of allergens in eggs and egg alternatives.
