Egg yolk flavor is a food additive designed to highly simulate the rich, fatty aroma, creamy texture, and characteristic flavor of fresh or cooked egg yolks. It plays an important role in the baking and savory snack industries.

Egg yolk flavor is an artificially formulated food additive that reproduces the “sandy, oily, and aromatic” characteristics of salted/fresh egg yolks. It is commonly available in water-soluble, oil-soluble, and powder forms, and is heat-resistant, maintaining its aroma stability during baking, frying, and sterilization processes.

Flavor Characteristics: It possesses a rich egg yolk aroma, a rounded milky flavor, and a subtle roasted aroma. It simulates the unique flavor produced by the rich phospholipids and oils in egg yolks when heated. Compared to whole egg flavor, it eliminates the possible fishy taste of egg whites, emphasizing the creamy, rich, and savory characteristics of the flavor.

Food Additive Egg Yolk Flavour is used in Cakes, bread, egg tarts, mooncakes, biscuits, salad dressings, ice cream, puddings, potato chips, rice cakes, popcorn, meat flakes, hot pot seasonings, fillings, candies, instant noodles, etc

Main Uses:

Baking and Desserts: Cakes, bread, egg tarts, mooncakes, cookies, egg yolk pastries, etc., providing a rich egg yolk aroma and a “crispy and sandy” texture.

Dairy and Egg Products: Mayonnaise, salad dressing, ice cream, eggnog, pudding, etc., enhancing creaminess and harmonizing with the milky flavor.

Snacks and Puffed Foods: Salted egg yolk potato chips, rice crackers, popcorn, roasted melon seeds, meat floss, etc., creating the popular “internet celebrity” salted egg yolk flavor.
