munavalmisteet
Munavalmisteet are products derived from eggs that are manufactured for culinary, industrial, or nutritional purposes. The most common forms include whole eggs, egg whites, yolks, and egg powders. Whole eggs are sold fresh or in liquid form for use in baking, sauces, and as a basic protein source. Egg whites are extracted by mechanical separation and are prized for their high protein content, low fat, and neutral flavor. Yolks are separated for use in custards, mayonnaise, and other emulsions, and they are also processed into yolk powders. Egg powders, produced by drying whole or separated egg components, provide a long shelf life and are useful in food processing where moisture control is important.
The manufacturing process typically involves cleaning, grading, and pasteurization to ensure safety, followed by mechanical separation
Regulations governing munavalmisteet differ by country but generally require stringent quality control, labeling of allergens, and
