What it is

Egg yolks are the yellow, fatty center of an egg. They are a natural source of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. In food production, they are typically separated from the egg white and may be used fresh, pasteurized, or dried.

Why it's used

Egg yolks act as a natural emulsifier, helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients. This makes them useful in products like mayonnaise, salad dressings, and sauces. They also add richness, color, and flavor to ice cream, baked goods, and pasta.

While dietary cholesterol's impact on blood cholesterol levels can vary among individuals, major health organizations note that for most people, cholesterol in food has a smaller effect than previously thought. The FDA considers eggs to be a safe and nutritious food. JECFA has evaluated egg products and established safety standards.
