Egg Albumen Powder · High-Whip Egg White Protein for Bakery, Confectionery & Nutrition
Egg albumen powder (egg white powder) is a concentrated protein ingredient made from pasteurized egg whites that are dried into a stable, easy-to-use powder. It is widely used for whipping and foaming performance in bakery and confectionery (meringues, marshmallows, nougat, aerated cakes), and for protein fortification in nutrition products and beverage mixes. Compared with liquid egg whites, albumen powder offers long shelf life, simplified storage/handling and consistent performance when properly rehydrated. Atlas Global Trading Co. supplies egg albumen powder from qualified producers with COA, technical documentation and reliable global logistics support.
Egg albumen powder is often combined with sugars, hydrocolloids and emulsifiers to control foam stability, chew and moisture in finished products.

Egg white powder for consistent aeration, structure and protein enrichment
Egg albumen powder provides egg white proteins in a convenient dry format. When rehydrated, it delivers functional performance similar to liquid egg whites for foaming and structure building. Depending on grade and processing, albumen can be optimized for high whip volume, foam stability or heat stability. In food manufacturing, success depends on correct rehydration, mixing/whipping parameters, sugar solids, pH and processing temperature.
Key characteristics
- Source: pasteurized egg whites (albumen).
- Form: free-flowing powder, typically off-white to light cream.
- Primary functionality:
- Foaming & whipping: creates stable foams for aerated textures.
- Structure building: sets during heating to support volume and crumb/aerated structure.
- Binding: contributes to cohesion in some bakery and snack systems.
- Grade options (producer dependent):
- Standard egg albumen powder (general bakery use),
- High-whip grades (optimized foam volume),
- Heat-stable or instantized options (process dependent).
- Rehydration: performance depends on hydration ratio, water temperature and resting time before whipping.
- Sensory: neutral egg white character; flavor is typically mild in sweet systems with sugar and flavors.
- Allergen: egg is a major allergen—labeling and cross-contact controls are mandatory.
- Regulatory: used as a food ingredient; country-specific rules may govern microbiological and compositional standards.
Atlas supports customers in selecting albumen grades suitable for meringue, confectionery aeration, sponge cakes and protein-enriched mixes, aligned with process requirements.
Indicative specification points
Specifications vary by producer and target application. Typical parameters include:
- Protein: minimum % (dry basis) as specified for grade.
- Moisture: controlled for flowability and shelf life.
- pH (solution): indicative range at stated concentration.
- Solubility / dispersibility: defined for instantized or beverage-mix grades (where applicable).
- Foam performance tests: whip volume, foam stability (producer-specific test methods).
- Microbiological: controlled to meet food safety standards (pasteurized input; finished powder criteria per spec).
- Color/appearance: controlled for consistent performance in white/aerated systems.
- Allergen control documentation: egg allergen statement and facility cross-contact info.
Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheet. Additional documents may include origin statements, dietary suitability, Halal/Kosher where applicable, and compliance statements depending on producer and market needs.
Applications in bakery, confectionery aeration, desserts and nutrition mixes
Egg albumen powder is a core ingredient for aerated textures and foam-based structures. It is used in meringues, marshmallows, nougat, sponge cakes, angel food cakes, macarons and many industrial bakery and confectionery systems. Below are common application areas and practical formulation considerations.
Bakery: cakes, sponges & aerated batters
- Sponge cakes and angel food cakes: provides foam structure and volume; sets with heat to support crumb.
- Macarons and meringue-based bakery items: supports stable foams and controlled drying/baking.
- Bakery mixes: improves consistency and shelf-life handling vs. liquid egg whites.
Confectionery: marshmallows, nougat & aerated sweets
- Marshmallows: contributes foam structure; works with gelatin/pectin systems (recipe dependent).
- Nougat and aerated candies: supports stable aeration and chew texture with sugar systems.
- Aerated toppings and dessert foams: used in dry mixes or industrial whipping systems.
Desserts & culinary applications
- Mousses and whipped dessert bases: used where stable foams and light textures are required.
- Glazes, icings and toppings: supports structure and aeration when whipped.
Nutrition & functional foods
- Protein powders and meal replacement blends: provides high-quality protein and functional whipping in some “whip-to-make” products.
- High-protein bakery and snacks: supports structure and protein enrichment (process dependent).
Formulation & process guidance
- Rehydration matters: hydrate with correct ratio, temperature and resting time to achieve consistent whip volume.
- Sugar and solids: sugar level affects foam stability and viscosity; adjust based on product type.
- pH control: pH influences foam stability—optimize with acids/buffers where appropriate.
- Fat sensitivity: fats and emulsifiers can reduce foaming—manage cross-contact and mixing order.
- Heat profile: baking/cooking conditions affect protein setting and final structure; validate at scale.
- Allergen control: maintain strict allergen management, labeling and segregation.
