  • Method for providing a proteinaceous composition without pH adjustment
    Patent number: 11937618
    Abstract: A protein-rich composition can be provided from egg albumen via a process that involves diafiltering with purified water an egg albumen concentrate. Collected retentate from the diafiltration step constitutes a protein-rich composition which, on a dry basis, can include less than 1% (w/w) lipids. The composition can be spray dried to a protein isolate solid which is substantially free of sugars.
    Type: Grant

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING COOKED EGG PRODUCT HAVING CONTROLLED CURD SIZE AND/OR SHAPE
    Publication number: 20230028204
    Abstract: A method and process for providing a cooked egg product having controlled curd shapes and few fines. By mechanically manipulating (e.g., dicing) a cooked egg product only after it has been cooled below a target setting temperature, resulting curds can be provided with a more controlled, even regular, shape as well as a low percentage of fines. Also presented is an egg composition with minimal fines and curds of cooked egg. The egg composition comprises cooked liquid egg, fines with a dimension less than 2.8 mm, and curds with a diameter less than 2.5 cm.
