MAXAPAL® A2 improves the emulsifying properties of liquid egg yolk and whole egg which is often called ”heat stable egg yolk” (or whole egg) in the egg processing industry. This can both be produced as liquid or powdered products.
In emulsions like mayonnaise, dressings, and sauces you can reduce the use of stabilizers, starch, hydrocolloids, and e-numbers, and you can optimize on the oil, yolk, and water content.
You can also produce emulsions that are heat stable, that can withstand temperatures above 100° C.
Furthermore MAXAPAL® A2 can improve foaming properties of liquid egg white that is contaminated with egg yolk.
Produce heat stable egg yolk
Heat stable egg yolk powder produced with MAXAPAL® A2 is often used directly in mayonnaise and dressings, but also as a base for compounds to produce mayonnaise and dressings, where they are one of the key ingredients.
Increase firmness and viscosity
The use of enzyme-modified egg yolk increases the firmness and viscosity of dressings and mayonnaise so that fewer or no synthetic emulsifiers or additives are needed. Increased firmness of mayonnaise and dressings provide better shelf life against oil coalescence and separation.
By using enzyme-modified egg yolk in dressings and mayonnaise, it is also possible to enhance the creaminess and mouth feel of the products.
Reduce use of stabilizers
Heat stable egg yolk (or whole egg) treated with MAXAPAL® A2 gives different benefits in the end products they are used in.
In emulsions, like mayonnaise, dressings and sauces you can reduce the use of stabilizers, starch, hydrocolloids and e-numbers. You can also optimize on the oil, yolk and water content.
Restore Foaming Properties
Egg white can be contaminated with egg yolk during different stages of handling and processing the eggs. If this happens it will have a negative effect on the foaming properties and the foam stability. By a treatment with MAXAPAL® A2 the foaming and foam stability can be fully restored.
