ABSTRACT:
Methods of and apparatus for producing shelf-stable liquid egg are provided. In particular, methods of and apparatus for producing liquid egg having a shelf life of at least 5 days when stored at about 70.degree. F. (about 21.degree. C.) are provided. In a first preferred embodiment, the liquid egg is electroheated from a temperature of about 110.degree. F. (about 43.degree. C.) to a temperature of at least about 140.degree. F. (about 60.degree. C.) by applying high frequency alternating electric current. The liquid egg is then cooled and again electroheated. In a second preferred embodiment, the liquid egg is electroheated from a temperature of about 110.degree. F. (about 43.degree. C.) to a temperature of at least about 140.degree. F. (about 60.degree. C.) by applying high frequency alternating electric current. The liquid egg is then cooled. A plurality of high voltage electric pulses are then applied to the liquid egg. In a third preferred embodiment, the liquid egg is electroheated from a temperature of about 110.degree. F. (about 43.degree. C.) to a temperature of at least about 140.degree. F. (about 60.degree. C.) by applying mains frequency alternating electric current. The liquid egg is then cooled. A plurality of high voltage electric pulses are then applied to the liquid egg.
