Have you heard about Pasteurized Liquid Egg? If not yet, you may be losing ground in the industry. Therefore, we are going to analyze some benefits that innovation in food products offers, not only to the consumer, but as a very advantageous market strategy for the entrepreneur.
What is Liquid Egg?
Liquid egg, or pasteurized egg, are eggs that, removed from their shells, undergo a heating and cooling process known as pasteurization, resulting in a product free of contamination, such as salmonella, and much more practical for those who use it. in large quantities, such as in sectors of the food industry, or even the final consumer.
Pasteurization in the liquid egg manufacturing process
The pasteurization process consists of heating food at higher temperatures for a short period of time, a few seconds, followed by rapid cooling.
This process results in a great reduction of the microbial load present in the product, eliminating the risk of contamination, without causing major changes in the quality of the food and ensuring better conservation without compromising its quality.
Check out the advantages:
Higher added value;
Profit alternative in units that do not meet quality standards (egg shell thickness, size, among others);
Process that eliminates most of the microorganisms present in the product;
Customizable aseptic packaging;
Longer shelf life of the product;
Product line diversification;
Reduction of waste by the end customer;
More compact product than whole eggs;
Ease of transport and storage.
Segments that use the product
The food industry is a very broad sector that absorbs novelties and created solutions very well.
The production of pasteurized liquid egg represents a supply for segments such as the large food industry, the production of ready-to-eat foods, sweets, the hotel sector, restaurants and small, medium and large businesses.
Lets see how many opportunities:
Food industry;
Hotel sector;
Bars and restaurants;
Commerce in general.
Advantages and benefits for the industry
The egg industry, like the others, faces a margin in the production of products that do not meet quality standards. They are often discarded eggs, which have problems such as a very thin or very thick shell, or out of size, elements that are incompatible with market requirements.
However, the same eggs considered of “low quality” and discarded may represent a new option for the market, a new line of products, an alternative to the main products, but with added value, thus reducing waste and contributing to the companys revenue.
And the benefits do not stop there. We can also quote:
Food safety: pasteurization of liquid eggs drastically reduces their microbial load against bacteria and salmonella risks.
Cost-effective: as it is a ready-made, low-cost product, it becomes an attractive option for the industry sectors that use it, saving time and money.
Goodbye waste: the production of liquid egg can be a very profitable alternative for a farming sector that works with a margin of disposal of eggs that do not comply with quality standards due to their size or characteristics of the shell, for example.
Greater product highlight: the liquid egg is a product that allows the use of a huge variety of packages, which facilitate its use, increase its prominence in the market and guarantee its quality for much longer.
Ease of use: pasteurized eggs in their liquid format are much easier to use, saving time in handling (ready product) and facilitating food preparation.
Optimized space: due to its wide variety of possibilities, pasteurized liquid eggs use the logistics advantages that flexible packaging provides, above all, packaging in stand-up pouch format, a packaging that is easy to transport and highly customizable in size, design and functionality . Much more practical than handling whole eggs.
Longer shelf life: as it is a pasteurized product and uses high quality flexible packaging, liquid eggs have a longer shelf life.
Stand-up Pouch packaging as an alternative to pasteurized liquid eggs
When we have a high quality product such as pasteurized liquid eggs, we need to offer them in packages that value their characteristics. And Stand-up Pouch packaging is the best option when looking for logistics and storage efficiency.
They are innovative packages that draw attention in the food market, save on manufacturing inputs, cause a visual impact on the competition, have versatility as a great advantage and have the consumer experience as a focus. Benefits like this give credibility to the brand!
