Egg subsititues found ‘lacking’ Book pays off THE BATTALION Page 7 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1978 FANTASY WORLD is By TRICIA BRUNHART Egg substitutes lack many impor tant qualities found in whole eggs, a exas A&M University researcher aid recently. Dr. Frederick A. Gardner, an as- iociate professor of poultry science at Texas A&M, conducted a study omparing the whole egg to three kinds of egg substitutes. He found that these products lacked main flavor and textural aspects of a whole gg- Egg substitutes are generally omposed of 85 to 90 percent egg white, said Gardner. With the re mainder consisting of corn oil, flavoring, coloring material, vegeta ble gums, and milk solids. Corn oil idds texture, milk solids add pro tein, and vegetable gums add thick- ess to the product. Coloring mate rial and emulsifier are both added to replace the yolk. All natural cholesterol is in the oik, Gardner said, and egg substi tutes were developed to meet a de- nand for an egg-like product which was low in cholesterol. The substi tutes were intended for people ad- rised by a doctor to reduce their in take of cholesterol, he added. Three types of substitutes were ised in the research, said Gardner. First there were the frozen substi tutes, which can be thawed and ised like a whole egg. Second were he liquid products, which must be frigerated. Third, they tested the lehydrated products, to which one campus activities Thursday SCONA, Cong.

Thus there is some cholesterol in the de hydrated suhsitutes, but none in the frozen and liquid types because they do not contain any yolk, he said. The experiment involved prepar ing foods with egg substitutes and presenting them to judging panels. The panels test the foods for flavor, texture, color, tenderness, moist ness and overall acceptability. Scrambled eggs prepared with the substitutes were tested and found lacking in the natural flavor present in whole eggs. “Flavor is a hard thing to replace,’ Gardner said. Cakes were made and their vol ume compared favorably with whole egg cakes, yet the texture was inad- quate. The whole egg has a much more delicate structure than the substitutes, Gardner said. There fore the texture in whole egg cakes is much better. Custards were prepared and mea sured for their thickness and firm ness. The vegetable gums added to to the egg substitutes to provide thickness resulted in firmer cus tards, but ruined the texture, he said. The panels found there was not much difference among the types of substitutes, except that one had less flavor than the others, Gardner said. Most of the egg substitutes on the market are really imitations, not substitutes, said Gardner. A substi tute must have the same nutritional value as the real product. If it has less, it is considered an imitation. The remainder of Gardner s re search on egg substitutes is being conducted through surveys. At the Texas State Fair in Dallas last October, one question on a sur vey asked if people had tried egg substitutes and, if they had, were they satisfied? The results so far, said Gardner, indicate that very few people have tried the egg substi tutes and of those who have, most were dissatisfied. Of the total surveys Gardner has conducted so far, about one percent of the people who have tried egg substitutes are satisfied with them, he said.
