The Production Process
How are the egg whites separated?
The eggs are washed and placed on a conveyor. The conveyor then cracks the eggs and drops them into a tray with holes in it. The tray catches the yolks but allows the egg whites to fall through the holes into another tray below. The process is monitored by a quality controller, who removes any broken yolks that may fall through with the whites.
How are the eggs dried?
Liquid egg whites undergo a meticulous and intricate process: they are sprayed into stainless steel cylinders and then exposed to hot air at specific temperatures and pressures. This rapid evaporation of the sprayed droplets transforms them into a solid powder, resulting in the creation of Egg White Powder.
Why are the egg whites pasteurized?
Ovo egg white is heat pasteurized to destroy any bacteria that may be present.
