Egg yolk powder is a convenient and versatile food ingredient made from fresh egg yolks. It undergoes a careful drying process to remove the moisture content while preserving the nutritional value and flavor of the yolks. The result is a fine, golden-yellow powder that can be easily reconstituted with water when needed for various culinary applications.
The production of egg yolk powder starts by separating the yolks from the egg whites. The yolks are then pasteurized to ensure food safety before being spray-dried or freeze-dried. Both methods effectively remove the water content from the yolks, resulting in a stable and shelf-stable powder.
