For producing heat stable liquid egg yolk and heat stable yolk powder, with improved emulsifying properties. Improve liquid egg white foaming properties.
MAXAPAL® A2 improves the emulsifying properties in liquid egg yolk and whole egg which is often called "heat stable egg yolk" (or whole egg) in the egg processing industry. Furthermore, it can improve foaming properties of egg white that is contaminated with egg yolk. Heat stable egg yolk (or whole egg) treated with MAXAPAL® A2 gives different benefits in the end products they are used in. In emulsions like mayonnaise, dressings, and sauces you can reduce the use of stabilizers, starch, hydrocolloids, and e-numbers. And you can optimize the oil, yolk, and water content.
The use of Heat stable egg products also makes emulsions heat stable, so there is no oil separation, better stability and they can be pasteurized.
MAXAPAL® A2 Treatment of egg white contaminated with egg yolk will restore the foaming properties of the egg white.
Benefits:
Kosher and Halal approval is important in many parts of the world, and MAXAPAL® A2 is a non-animal derived enzyme suitable for kosher and halal products.
Heat stable egg yolk powder produced with MAXAPAL® A2 is often used directly in mayonnaise and dressings, but also as a base for compounds to produce mayonnaise and dressings, where they are one of the key ingredients.
The use of enzyme-modified egg yolk increases firmness and viscosity of dressings and mayonnaise, so that less or no synthetic emulsifiers or additives are needed. Increased firmness of mayonnaise and dressings provide better shelf life against oil coalescence and separation.
By using enzyme-modified egg yolk in dressings and mayonnaise, it is also possible to enhance creaminess and mouth feel of the products.
Heat stable egg yolk (or whole egg) treated with MAXAPAL® A2 gives different benefits in the end products they are used in.
In emulsions, like mayonnaise, dressings and sauces you can reduce the use of stabilizers, starch, hydrocolloids and e-numbers. You can also optimize on the oil, yolk and water content.
Egg white can be contaminated with egg yolk during different stages of handling and processing the eggs. If this happens it will have a negative effect on the foaming properties and the foam stability. By a treatment with MAXAPAL® A2 the foaming and foam stability can be fully restored.
The applications where MAXAPAL®A2 treated egg products are used is increasing every year. This is both in different types of emulsified products, but MAXAPAL®A2 treated egg products has in some cases also shown positive results in bakery applications.
The enzyme MAXAPAL® A2 is an identical and simple to use substitute for the traditionally used porcine pancreas derived PLA2 enzymes to produce enzyme-modified egg products.
MAXAPAL® A2 is a very pure enzyme, which means that it has very limited side activities, so you have no risk of amylase problems in your heat stable egg yolk product.

How can you enhance the functionalities of egg products?
The use of enzymes can improve different functionalities in egg products. Different enzymes works under different conditions, and the right processing parameters has to be known. SANOVO PROCESS SOLUTIONS can supply you with the enzymes and know-how to improve different functionalities in your egg products. Link
Which functionalities of egg products can be improved with the use of enzymes?
With the use of enzymes in egg processing, you can improve the emulsifying properties of egg yolk, foaming properties of egg white, protein solubility and stability of egg powders, prevent browning effect of egg white powder during processing, removal of glucose, and increase the pasteurization temperature of egg white drinks.
What are the applications for egg product enhancing enzymes?
Do I have to write on the label that enzymes have been used to modify the egg products?
No, in most countries this is not needed, as the enzyme is used as a processing aid, and does not have a function in the final product.
Can Maxapal A2 be used in salted egg yolk?
Yes, it is possible to use Maxapal A2 in salted egg yolk. Salt does not influence the functionality of the enzyme.
Are the enzymes supplied kosher and halal approved?
Yes, all our enzymes are kosher and halal certified, and the certificates can be supplied on request.
What benefits does it give to modify your egg yolk products with Maxapal A2?
By treating egg yolk with Maxapal A2, you improve the emulsifying properties of egg yolk. This gives advantages when it is used in different applications like sauce, dressings, mayonnaise and some bakery applications. In many applications you can use less egg yolk, your emulsions will become heat stable, and the stability of the product will be better.
How much can you reduce the use of egg yolk, when shifting form standard egg yolk to enzyme modified egg yolk?
You can reduce the amount of egg yolk used with 20% or more. This is recipe depending. Contact us for further details.
What other advantages does it give to use enzyme modified egg yolk?
You can reduce the use of thickeners like gums and stabilizers, and as they often also have an e-number, you can reduce the use of e-numbers in your product. This will result in a more clean label.
Can SANOVO PROCESSING SOLUTIONS help us in implementing the use of enzymes in our production process?
Yes, we assist our customers with trials, process descriptions, approvals, factory trials, test methods etc. Please contact us any time for questions you might have.
How do we obtain samples to make trials?
Please contact SANOVO PROCESSING SOLUTIONS for samples and recommendations on how they shall be used in the products.
Is the egg product required to be heated in order to use Maxapal A2?
No, Maxapal A2 can be used in both warm (50-55 °C) egg yolk, but also in chilled products. But it influences the time needed for the process to be completed. Please contact SANOVO PROCESSING SOLUTIONS for more details.
We have some ideas for new projects where enzymes might be a solution. How do we proceed?
We have many years of experience in the use of enzymes in egg products, so please contact us for any questions you might have.
Can you improve the foaming properties of egg white that has been contaminated with egg yolk?
Yes,- we have a special treatment for egg white contaminated with egg yolk, that can improve the foaming properties. Please contact us for further details.
What is Maxapal A2 treated egg yolk called in the industry?
Maxapal A2 treated yolk has many different names. Some companies call it special names, that they only use. Others call it: Heat stable egg yolk, Enzyme modified egg yolk, and Fermented egg yolk (in Eastern Europe).
Prevent the growth of gram positive bacteria, like Listeria monocytogenes and spore forming Bacillus cereus, while extending the shelf life of liquid pasteurized egg products.
For a fast and complete removal of Hydrogen Peroxide after cold pasteurization. The C10 enzyme is catalase that can convert Hydrogen Peroxide into water and oxygen for the de-sugaring process of egg products.
De-sugaring of egg products to prevent browning effect of the egg powders during spray drying and powder pasteurization. The desugaring also improves the protein solubility and baking properties of egg powders.
For pasteurization of egg white based protein drinks at 70° C or higher to achieve a longer shelf life of the product. MAXAMYL™ NPU is also used to produce egg white powder with better solubility.
