Egg products refer to food items derived from eggs, primarily chicken eggs, that have undergone processing to extend shelf life, facilitate use, or create new culinary ingredients. Common egg products include liquid eggs, which can be whole egg, egg whites, or egg yolks; frozen eggs, also available in various forms; and dried or powdered eggs, which offer excellent stability. These products are crucial in the food industry, finding applications in baking, confectionery, dairy products, and prepared meals. The processing typically involves pasteurization to eliminate harmful bacteria, ensuring food safety. Liquid eggs are often used by large-scale food manufacturers due to their ease of handling and consistent quality. Dried eggs are a convenient alternative for situations where refrigeration is limited. The availability of egg products provides flexibility for both industrial and domestic consumers, allowing for the use of eggs in forms that are more practical for specific applications than fresh, shell eggs.
