Role in food

What it is

Dried egg is made from fresh eggs that have had most of their water removed through drying. This process can involve spray drying, drum drying, or freeze drying. The resulting product is a powder that retains the nutritional and functional properties of fresh eggs.

Why it's used

Dried egg is used as a binder, emulsifier, and source of protein and leavening in baked goods like cookies and cakes. It is also found in processed meats, salad dressings, and convenience foods such as soups and frozen appetizers, where it helps improve texture and flavor.

Health notes

Dried egg is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated dried egg and established specifications for its use. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Egg is one of the 9 major food allergens identified by the FDA. Individuals with an egg allergy should avoid products containing dried egg.
