Egg Replacement Ingredients are High in Demand Due to Growing Adoption of Veganism and Vegetarian Food Products
Egg Replacement Ingredients |
Eggs are versatile and can be used in a variety of
recipes. Their protein content binds with starch and helps form the overall
structure of baked goods. However, egg replacers may alter the flavor of baked
goods. Thus, substitutions with fruit and pantry staples may be
necessary. A new egg replacement ingredient can help bakeries save money,
as it replaces eggs and fats. It can also texturize ingredients, thereby
increasing moisture retention. While most egg replacements have an unpleasant
aftertaste, the product can save bakeries up to 25% of their overall egg spend
every year.
The
global Egg
Replacement Ingredients Market is projected to reach around US$ 1622.1
million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 5.6% during
the forecast period (2019-2027).
Soy lecithin is one of the egg replacement
ingredients. Soy lecithin mimics the texture of an egg yolk, making it a great
substitute for egg. It should be used in small quantities, like one-fourth to a
half-cup per pound of meat. Carbonated water is also one of the egg
replacement ingredient. Carbonated water activates baking soda and creates a
similar reaction to that of vinegar. Seltzer water can also be used as an egg
replacement in recipes, such as cakes and waffles. Another option is using
potato starch or tapioca flour, which is both gluten-free and a great source of
protein. It can also be used in place of eggs in a wide range of dishes, such
as pancakes, muffins, and breads.
Aquafaba is a liquid found in canned chickpeas. It
can replace one egg or three tablespoons of egg yolk in baked goods. It can
also be used as an egg wash for breads and pastries. Aquafaba can also be
substituted for egg yolks in recipes. Aquafaba can be used as a substitute for
eggs in batters and dough, however not in custard recipes. Due to increasing
demand for vegan and vegetarian food products and rising economic opportunities
in developing countries, the demand for egg replacement ingredient is growing
all around the world. In March 2022, 2foods by TWO Inc. a Japanese food brand
announced the collaboration with Kagome Co. a domestic manufacturing giant, for
developing a plant-based egg alternative for a new omurice dish.
