äggvitepulver

Egg white powder is a dried form of egg whites, also known as albumen. It is produced by separating egg whites from the yolk and then dehydrating them. The dehydration process removes water, concentrating the protein content and creating a shelf-stable powder.

Egg white powder is a popular ingredient in the food industry and by individuals for various culinary and nutritional purposes. It is a rich source of protein and contains all the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. This makes it a favored ingredient for athletes and those looking to increase their protein intake.

In cooking and baking, egg white powder can be rehydrated with water to replace fresh egg whites. It is often used in recipes for meringues, soufflés, macarons, and other baked goods where the leavening and structural properties of egg whites are desired. Its powdered form offers convenience and a longer shelf life compared to fresh eggs. It is also used in sports nutrition supplements, protein bars, and as a fat-free, cholesterol-free protein alternative. The production process typically involves pasteurization to ensure safety. When used in recipes, the ratio of powder to water is crucial for achieving the desired consistency and outcome.
