Modified Egg Yolks

• Modified egg yolks refers to egg yolks to which enzymes PLA2 or MAXAPAL A2 have been added as emulsifiers. PLA2, also called phospholipase A2, is harvested from pig pancreas. PLA2 is available in all mammal tissues and is one of the major irritants found in snake and insect bites. MAXAPAL A2 is an enzyme obtained from a plant source, namely Aspergilus niger, a common mould that grows on fruits. MAXAPAL A2, therefore, is ideal for vegetarians intending to use modified egg yolk products.
