Egg yolk fermented with pancreatic phospholipase A2 has been shown to be a more potent emulsifier for mayonnaise than untreated egg yolk. The mayonnaise withstood heating at 100°C for 30 min without the emulsion breaking. The treatment also effected a considerable thickening of the product. Animal feeding trials with lysolecithin and fermented egg yolk suggested that the enzymic hydrolysis does not pose any toxicological hazards.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
