Abstract

The invention relates to milk-free and lactose-free fermented egg white product and a method for its preparation.

Description

MILK-FREE AND LACTOSE-FREE FERMENTED EGG WHITE PRODUCT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to fermented egg products having a yo- ghurt-like structure.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fermentation of food compositions with egg white as one protein com- ponent has been widely studied. There is a lot of literature describing these prod- ucts fermented with various bacteria cultures.
Lin, J.C.C. et al, Preparation of a Yogurt-like Product Containing Egg
White, Journal of Food Science, Volume 49, Issue 6, November 1984, pp. 1444- 1448, discloses fermentation of liguid egg white in skim milk or soymilk by com- bined Lactobacillus and Streptococcus bacteria cultures. Yoghurt contains egg white, soymilk, skim milk, glucose, sucrose, xanthan gum and vanilla extract.
Gogo, L.A. et al., Effect of Egg White Utilization on the Physico-Chemical = and Sensory Attributes of Protein-rich Yoghurt, IFIS, Volume 1, April 2012, pp. 52- 60, discloses manufacturing of fermented high protein yoghurt made from whole milk, fortified with egg white (30% v/v) and skim milk powder at 12% (w/v).
Reports on fermented yoghurt-like products made from egg white as a single protein source have not been disclosed.
It is widely known that food products containing lactose may cause se- vere gastrointestinal problems among many individuals (lactose intolerance).
Also, food products containing milk may cause gastrointestinal problems. There- fore, there is a need for completely milk-free and lactose-free alternative food prod- ucts that exhibit appealing and tasty properties. Moreover, plant-based milks like
S 25 soymilk, although being lactose-free, do not have the same high biological value of
N protein exhibited by egg white. Therefore, new applications of egg white products
S are of great interest by consumers. Fgg white with egg yolk is known as a complete
D food that contains all nutrients necessary to birth of life.
I

Example 1
An egg white yoghurt was produced from the ingredients set forth in
Table 1 below.
Table 1
Citrus fibre was added to water and vigorously shaken for about 3 minutes. Starch and dextrose were then added to the citrus fiber-containing water — solution under vigorous stirring to provide a mixture.
Liquid egg white was pasteurized at 57°C for 210 sec. Liquid yolk was
M pasteurized at 64°C for 210 seconds. After pasteurization, they were added to the
S mixture to provide an egg white blend. The egg white blend was heated at 85°C for + 120 seconds. Then, the egg white blend was cooled to a temperature of about 43°C. = 20 Thermophilic starter culture was added to the egg white blend. Fermen-
T tation was carried out in a fermentation tank at 43*C for about 8 hours whereby a
E yoghurt product was obtained. The yoghurt product was cooled and packaged.
S EXAMPLE 2 5 An egg white yoghurt was produced from the ingredients set forth in
N 25 Table2 below in a similar manner as in example 1 except that a fruit preparation with a dry matter (DM) content of 31% was used instead of dextrose.
