About Pasteurised egg yolk
Pasteurised egg yolk is separated egg yolk that has been heat-treated and is sold chilled or frozen, commonly as a liquid or frozen mass. It is yellow to orange, thick and smooth, with a rich, savoury flavour and emulsifying properties. Pasteurisation does not by itself specify whether it is plain or supplemented with other ingredients.
It is used in sauces, custards, baking and other preparations calling for yolk. Products may be liquid, frozen or otherwise processed, and some formulations include salt or sugar; the record does not identify a particular form or formulation.
