dried egg

Dried egg, also known as egg powder, is a product made from dried eggs. This process involves dehydrating eggs, which makes them less expensive to ship, more convenient to use, and easier to store than fresh whole eggs. Spray dryers are commonly used to create a high-quality egg product that retains foaming and emulsification properties similar to fresh eggs. These dried eggs are then packaged for various commercial applications in the food industry, such as in cake mixes, salad dressings, and pasta. Dried egg products can include dried egg white solids, stabilized whole egg solids, and blends of egg with sugar or corn syrup, offering a storage life of about one year when refrigerated.12
