  • Method of preparing high protein snack food from egg protein
    Patent number: 4421770
    Abstract: A high protein snack food is prepared from egg protein, preferably in the form of egg white, by a process involving the heat-coagulation of a molded body of the egg protein composition, cutting the body to form slices, coating the exterior surface of the slices with a liquid batter mix containing starch as a principal ingredient, then breading and deep-fat frying the battered coagulum slices to seal their outer surfaces. By this process, water weeping of the slices during frozen storage, thawing and reheating is substantially prevented.
