What it is
Powdered egg yolks are dried whole eggs with the whites removed. They are made by separating the yolks from the whites of fresh eggs and then dehydrating the yolks until they form a powder. This process preserves the yolk's fat and flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use powdered egg yolks as an emulsifier, binder, and for richness and color. They help ingredients blend smoothly, add moisture, and contribute to a desirable texture and flavor in baked goods like cakes, pastries, and muffins.
Health notes
Powdered egg yolks are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated egg products. Typical consumption as part of a varied diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Eggs are one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, powdered egg yolks are considered a major allergen.
