Egg Flavor

Introduction

Egg flavor is a versatile taste profile that replicates the rich, savory, and slightly sulfurous notes of real eggs. It is widely used in food manufacturing as a cost-effective, shelf-stable alternative to fresh eggs while maintaining authentic taste and aroma.

This flavor is essential for:

Vegan/plant-based products (e.g., egg-free substitutes)

Allergen-free formulations (avoiding real egg proteins)

Processed foods requiring consistent egg flavor without refrigeration

Functional foods (protein bars, meal replacements)
