What are Dried POWDERED eggs?
Dried eggs are the result of a spray-drying process that removes liquid from eggs, leaving an egg solid powder.
Types of Dried POWDERED eggs
Dried egg comes in three main types: whole eggs, egg yolks, and whites or albumen. Specialty blends and dried egg with other ingredients and/or performance agents are also available.
The type of dried egg customers use often depends on desired functional properties or nutritional requirements. For example, whole egg offers the properties and nutrition of a standard shell egg. Manufacturers may use egg whites for added protein or their binding properties. Egg yolks may be used to add color, taste, and richness in large-scale industrial food processing for desserts and sauces.
What are Dried POWDERED eggs used for?
Dried egg products have a longer shelf life and are shelf stable. Dried egg products readily reconstitute and easily blend with other dry ingredients. Dried eggs can also be useful for exporting since their shelf life and durability allows for easier overseas shipping.
The advantages of Dried POWDERED eggs
- Long shelf life. Dried eggs can last up to 18 months if they remain sealed and unexposed to oxygen. Dried whole egg solids last longer when stored at a temperature under 50°F.
- Durability. Dried eggs are versatile and easy to handle making for easier use in large-scale food processing and manufacturing.
- Easier storage. Dried egg typically comes in 50 lb. boxes stacked on pallets. They are relatively easy to store since they do not need to be refrigerated and have a long shelf life.
How are Dried POWDERED eggs made?
Dried eggs are typically a result of a spray-drying process. Here, eggs are preheated and then added to a spray-drying chamber, also known as a hot box. Inside this chamber, the eggs are exposed to extremely hot air – the temperature hovers around 300°F – so that the liquid in the egg rapidly evaporates. This leaves behind the dried egg solid, which is collected, bagged, and boxed.
In spray-drying, roughly 4.3 pounds of liquid whole egg becomes one pound of dried whole egg. Eight pounds of egg whites are necessary for one pound of dried whites. Roughly 2.2 lbs of liquid yolk result in one pound of dried yolk. These conversions differ because there are more solids in the yolk and more water in the egg white. This means that more of the egg white evaporates during spray-drying, so more liquid egg white is needed for the same dried volume.
Dried eggs vs. Dried POWDERED eggs
Dried eggs and powdered eggs are one and the same. Another common and synonymous term is “egg solids.” The choice of term is entirely the supplier’s preference.
How much dried egg does it take to equal one egg?
The American Egg Board provides the below conversion table for dried egg (egg solids), shell egg, and frozen product.
| Egg Type | Frozen Product (lb.) | Shell Egg* (Quantity) | Egg Solids(lb.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole | 1 | 9 | .25 solids + .75 water |
| Yolks | 1 | 22 | .45 solids + .55 water |
| Whites | 1 | 14 | .12 solids + .88 water |
HOW TO COOK Dried POWDERED EGGS
To cook powdered eggs, combine the egg powder with water in a certain ratio to reconstitute the egg. From there, cooking the eggs works exactly as it would with a fresh yolk, egg white, or whole egg. Note that hard-boiling or other shell-based cooking methods are not possible with powdered eggs.
How are Dried POWDERED eggs packaged?
Powdered eggs are packaged in plastic bags, containers, or jars. In some cases, they are available in cardboard canisters. No matter their type of packaging, they will start vacuum-sealed so that oxygen exposure does not spoil them. This packaging approach results in the powder’s extended shelf life.
Dried eggs certifications
Dried eggs may come with certifications from American Humane (AH), United Egg Producers (UEP), Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC), and the USDA. These bodies outline egg production guidelines that many farmers follow. USDA certifications require site visits at least twice annually to verify appropriate production conditions. These certifications may appear on dried egg labels as the regulatory body’s logo.
