Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the separation of various components from eggs. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for the separation of proteins and lipids from eggs, including technical eggs (inedible) or edible eggs, yolks or whites, which comprises cross-linking the lipids of eggs with a cross-linking reagent. In an embodiment, the method includes separating the proteins from the cross-linked lipids. In an embodiment, the method includes the separation of various components associated with the cross-linked lipids. The methods disclosed herein allow for the isolation of multiple different components from the egg in an efficient, cost-effective manner without compromising the recovery process of the components or their subsequent utility in various applications or compositions. The compositions and isolated components obtained by the methods of the invention can be used in pharmaceutical, medical, nutritional, cosmetic or health applications.

Abstract: The process for solubilizing proteinaceous material of the present invention includes subjecting the proteinaceous material to a sufficient amount of a basic solution to obtain a supernatant that has a basic pH and exposing the supernatant to the basic solution for a sufficient length of time and temperature for hydrolysis to occur. The process also includes cooling the mixture of the supernatant and proteinaceous material and optionally acidifying the mixture. This process may also include recovering the solubilized protein from the supernatant for use in various applications. Also provided herein is a composition of solubilized proteins from eggshell membrane obtained using processes of the present invention.
