About Liquid egg yolk

Liquid egg yolk is the yolk separated from the white and sold shell-free in pourable form. It is used for emulsifying sauces, enriching mixtures, and adding colour and richness to baked goods and other preparations.

Raw yolk is thick, smooth, and yellow to orange, with a rich, characteristic egg flavour; cooking makes it thicker or sets it. Chilled and frozen forms are common, and some products are pasteurised or otherwise processed. Its composition differs substantially from liquid whole egg or white.
