Abstract:
A process for the manufacture of a liquid egg yolk product containing lysophospholipoprotein comprising:(a) processing a phospholipase A-containing microbial fermentate to remove amylase and protease co-products of the fermentation to produce a refined phospholipase A-containing microbial product; and (b) combining a liqued egg yolk with the refined phospholipase A-containing microbial product of step (a) to produce a modified liqued egg yolk product containing lysophospholipoprotein, said modified liquid egg yolk product having (i) a degree of conversion of phospholipoprotein to lysophospholipoprotein of at least 10%; and (ii) an amylase activity of less than 50 units/litre.
