Similar to egg-based washes, egg wash substitutes can be topically applied to fresh, par-baked or frozen bakery products for a crunchy-glazed crust. They can be also sprayed to coat the product after baking and before the product cools down.

Why replace eggs in egg wash?

Eggs and egg-based materials present food formulators and bakers with several challenges such as: Availability and fluctuating prices: Eggs are the most expensive ingredient in bakeries, and there are frequent shortages in the supply

Quality and short shelf life

Enhanced functionality: Some egg alternatives provide better functionality and sensory properties than eggs in bakery products Sustainability: Many bakeries and food manufacturers are implementing self-imposed sustainability program to appeal to younger consumers

Safety: Salmonella outbreaks, avian flu disease.

Allergens: Require segregating ingredients in production and warehousing areas

Nutrition and health: Eggs contain significant levels of cholesterol unlike plant-based ingredients, which are cholesterol-free

Lifestyle: Eggs are not compatible with vegans and vegetarian diets

Cross-contamination: Requires special handling and storage in bakeries

Function

Eggs are an important component of bakery products surface treatment. Their unique composition, mainly the presence of the natural emulsifiers and proteins, help with stabilizing the crust texture. Also, they provide color and visual appeal. Typically whole eggs, yolk, or egg white mixed with water or milk can be used in egg wash with the yolk providing darker finish. During baking, egg proteins unfold and cross-link which squeezes out moisture to form a smooth web surface.

Applications

The first step in choosing the right egg wash substitute is deciding on the desired functionality:1,2,3 Surface browner: When used to finish the surface of a bakery product, the mixture is brushed on prior to baking, usually an item with a crust such as pies, bread rolls, breads, Cornish pasties, empanadas, etc. Binder: When used as a binder, an egg wash can help the coating of food being dredged to stick on better. pies or bread with decoratives. Salt in an egg wash helps break down the protein in the eggs, helping crumb coatings, etc, stick better to the wash. Ground spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg adds surface flavoring and a bit of coloring. Here oils, butter and other lipid-based EWR will be too slippery to keep seeds, nuts, etc. to stick. Sealer: An egg wash can also “seal” the surface of a food item against moisture from the anticipated filling.
