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
