Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eggs have a long history of being consumed by humans and have long been regarded as a ‘dual-functional food ingredient’. The first aspect of this being that eggs are rich in nutrients, providing consumers with a high-quality protein and lipid source as well as a wide variety of critical minerals, vitamins, trace elements, and bioactive ingredients. The second aspect is that eggs have excellent processing characteristics, such as gelation, foaming, and emulsifying properties. They have been widely used as an important functional ingredient in the fields of food production, medicine, and cosmetics. Research on the production process, properties, and safety of eggs and egg products has always been a hot topic, covering such areas as, for example, new techniques for the processing and preservation of egg products, improvements to the nutritional or functional properties of egg products, the extraction and production of active ingredients from eggs, and exploring the relationship between the ingredients of eggs and human health. Fresh research on these fields would further expand the myriad applications of eggs and egg products.
