Egg Nutrients Eggs are incredible when it comes to nutrition. Eggs are all-natural, and one egg has lots of vitamins and minerals—all for 70 calories. The nutrients in eggs can play a role in weight management, muscle strength, healthy pregnancy, brain function, eye health and more. At less than 15 cents apiece, eggs are an affordable and delicious breakfast option. The protein in eggs is the highest-quality protein found in any food. The high-quality protein in eggs provides the energy families need to perform their best on important days. Nutrient-rich, all-natural eggs are a welcome addition to any diet. The nutrient package of eggs aids in the following: Weight management: The high-quality protein in eggs helps you to feel fuller longer and stay energized, which contributes to maintaining a healthy weight. (1) Muscle strength and muscle-loss prevention: Research indicates that high-quality protein may help active adults build muscle strength and help prevent muscle loss in middle-aged and aging adults. (2) Healthy pregnancy: Egg yolks are an excellent source of choline, an essential nutrient that contributes to fetal brain development and helps prevent birth defects. Two eggs provide about 250 milligrams of choline, or roughly half of the recommended daily intake for pregnant and breastfeeding women. (3) Brain function: Choline also aids the brain function of adults by maintaining the structure of brain cell membranes, and is a key component of the neuro-transmitter that helps relay messages from the brain through nerves to the muscles. (4) Eye health: Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants found in egg yolks, help prevent macular degeneration, a leading cause of age-related blindness. Though eggs contain a small amount of these two nutrients, research shows that the lutein from eggs may be more bioavailable than lutein from other food sources.

Introduction Why U.S. Eggs? From Atlanta to Dubai to Hong Kong, buyers know about the "egg-ceptional" qualities of U.S. eggs and egg products. Not only is the U.S. the world's second-largest egg-producing country, it also produces eggs of the highest quality in the world. The American egg industry maintains strict quality control and sanitation measures that are more stringent than is required by law. Immediately after they are laid, eggs are washed, sanitized, graded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and packed. After packing, U.S. eggs are refrigerated throughout the shipping and marketing process. As you see through this website, you can easily see why U.S. eggs rank among the highest in the world for distinguished quality and assured safety. U.S. Eggs: Distinguished Quality, Assured Safety Egg production is a prominent and vital segment of agriculture in the United States. American egg producers manage more than 276 million hens, each of which lays about 250 eggs per year. Of all eggs produced in the U.S., approximately 70% is marketed as shell eggs for home, institutional, and food service use. The remaining 30% is processed into a variety of different egg products to be used by food manufacturers and large food service operations worldwide.

Sodium Reduction Egg products are naturally low in sodium and possess multifunctional components for foaming, binding and emulsifying, and other functions. Clean labels are dependent upon the ingredients. Egg products offer a clean label option and can help maintain product integrity and stability in a reduced sodium formulation. Egg products are capable of binding other ingredients, providing structure and stability and assisting with moisture migration while not conflicting with flavors of other ingredients. In fact, eggs have functional properties that do the job of many additives, yet naturally. Today's consumers, better educated and more label savvy, are avoiding additives and seeking more natural food alternatives. Custom blended egg products that include carbohydrates, gum, starches, sugar, and low levels of salt are available to meet manufacturers' specifications and improve functional performance. Egg products make so many food formulations great or better. The functional profile egg products provide is worth investigating to mine the possibilities for all the value they can provide to sodium reduced and other formulations.

Dried Egg Products Usage Ingredient especially for the commercial food processing industry. Availability Foodservice - 6 oz pouches, 3 and 25 lb poly packs. Commercial - 25 and 50 lb boxes, 150, 175, and 200 lb drums. Advantages Long shelf life, stable and mixable. Processing Overview Shell eggs are washed, rinsed, sanitized, candled, broken, separated by automation, and monitored for quality and imperfections. Liquid whole eggs and yolks are clarified, filtered, and pasteurized using high-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurization equipment. After pasteurization, they are spray dried. The separated egg whites and egg yolks from the same production batch may be recombined in their entirety and identified as whole eggs. Egg whites are treated prior to drying to remove naturally occurring glucose and preserve color once dried, resulting in stabilized egg whites for longer storage. Glucose is sometimes removed from whole egg and yolk products for long storage stability. Egg whites are more sensitive to heat coagulation. They are clarified, filtered, glucose removed, and spray dried prior to pasteurization in a “hot room” maintained at a temperature of at least 130ºF (54ºC) for a minimum of seven to ten days. Industry practice often exceeds the required pasteurization regulations — pasteurized at a higher temperature — to improve gel strength. This assures kill of Salmonella if the moisture content of egg solids is kept at approximately 6%. The whipping ability of egg whites also improves when stored in the hot room at low moisture levels. Pan drying, which creates a flake or granular product, is another possible method for drying egg whites, but spray drying is generally used because quick exposure to very high temperatures prevents color and nutrient damage. Added Ingredients Sugar (sucrose), glucose-free corn syrup, or sodium silicoaluminate are sometimes added according to suppliers’ specifications, as anti-caking agents to assure a free-flowing product. Without these agents, the egg powder could harden and solidify — making it difficult to incorporate into food applications. Whipping additives like sodium lauryl sulfate may be added to dried egg whites at a level of less than 0.1% (by weight of the liquid prior to drying) to assure whipping ability and aeration properties. Carbohydrates can be added to increase the egg’s resistance to heat damage, e.g., less protein denaturation during drying and improve stability and flowability of dried egg products. Storage/Handling Store dried eggs as any other dried, powdered food in a cool, dark place. Once reconstituted, use immediately or store refrigerated for no more than four days. Products: Whole eggs or yolk solids Dried egg or scrambled egg mix Egg whites Free flowing whole eggs or yolk solids Stabilized (glucose-free) whole eggs or yolk solids Blends of whole eggs and/or yolk with carbohydrates

Boomer Health E very day, 11,000 baby boomers turn 50, and many thousands more are reaching retirement age. However, this generation anticipates experiencing a different style of retirement than their parents before them. Baby boomers are more concerned with health and vitality than any other generation. Many have ignored good health messages for years, hoping that science and medicine were the quick fix. Today more boomers are more concerned with attaining their goals of "adopting a healthy lifestyle". In the Journal of the American College of Nutrition, researchers determined that not only did eggs lend a greater sense of satiety than a more carbohydrate-laden breakfast with a similar calorie count, but that calorie intake following the egg breakfast remained lower, not just for the rest of the day, but for the next 36 hours. The researchers findings that blood lipids were not impacted during the two-month study, added to the body of research that concludes that healthy adults can enjoy eggs without significantly impacting their risk of heart disease. Versatility, portability, health and vitality—terms that describe the lifestyle baby boomers wish to, and can achieve, given the right foods. Manufacturers simply need to turn to the right ingredients, such as eggs, to help this important market segment reach their goals.
