Abstract:

In some food industries, the demand for egg yolk was large, and egg white was often discarded as waste, which not only causes environmental pollution, but also wastes this valuable protein resource. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of egg white is urgent. The research at home and abroad is currently focused on lysozyme extraction methods, egg white cold sterilization technology, the functional properties and the biological activities of egg white hydrolysates, and recent progress on the 4 aspects were reviewed in this article.

Key words: egg white, lysozyme, cold sterilization technology, functional properties, hydrolysates
