Abstract:Research has been conducted to enhance the value of eggs by incorporating various functional ingredients. However, it is difficult for functional components with large molecular weights, such as saponins, to penetrate the egg whites. In this study, we sought to improve the penetration efficiency (PE) of red ginseng saponin extract (RGSE) into egg whites after removing the cuticle layer with acid treatment. First, the eggs were immersed in apple cider vinegar for 0, 1, or 2 hours to remove the cuticle layer. Th… Show more
