With egg prices rising and sourcing becoming increasingly difficult – due also to avian flu outbreaks and growing global demand – the food industry is under pressure to find reliable alternatives to eggs that don’t compromise on quality.
Egg ’n Easy is CSM Ingredients’ range of modular, fully plant-based egg reduction systems for baked goods.
This fully customizable solution is designed to stabilize batter viscosity, aeration, and emulsion while allowing to cut eggs up to 50%, and up to 100% in selected recipes.
Egg ’n Easy is a modular, plant-based egg reduction system that delivers great volume, softness and clean taste while keeping batters predictable from mixing to bake-out.
Egg ’n Easy is based on the combination of three basic building blocks that can be further enhanced with additional functional ingredients.
Wheat flour — boosts viscosity and helps retain fat/oil in batter
Wheat protein — supports and maintains crumb structure
Vegetable fibers — improves nutritional content
Optional enzymes — refines crumb for a finer texture
Optional sorbitol — reduces mouth-balling for better eating quality
According to a validated assessment carried out in collaboration with HowGood – a sustainability intelligence platform and independent research company with the world’s largest database on food product sustainability – Egg ’n Easy diluted in water and used as an egg substitute in baking shows a carbon footprint of 0.38 kg CO₂e per kg.
Taking into account that typical liquid egg has a carbon footprint of 4.54 kg CO₂e per kg, by comparison this means that Egg ’n Easy delivers approximately a 91% lower carbon footprint [the final carbon reduction in finished goods will vary depending on the specific recipes, as the percentage of liquid egg substituted with Egg 'n Easy and water will vary based on the desired results and application type]
Egg ’n Easy powder format allows accurate dosing, easy storage and seamless integration into existing dry mixes.
