The liquid egg market plays a critical role in the food industry, offering convenience and efficiency for food manufacturers, bakeries, and catering services. The introduction of liquid eggs revolutionized these sectors, providing a consistent and reliable ingredient for products like mayonnaise, cakes, and pasta, where precise formulations are essential. One of the key advantages of liquid eggs is the reduced risk of contamination; fresh eggs, which come directly from hens, can carry bacteria and other contaminants that pose food safety challenges.

Shelf Life Challenges

The shelf life of liquid eggs poses unique challenges due to the perishable nature of eggs, which are highly susceptible to bacterial growth and spoilage. These challenges are intensified by the demands of modern supply chains, which often require products to remain fresh during extended transport and storage periods. To overcome these hurdles, Aran has developed aseptic bags specifically designed for liquid egg packaging, providing a solution that aligns with the needs of global markets.

The Liquid Egg Production Process

Liquid eggs are prepared through a carefully managed process. Fresh eggs are collected, cracked, and filtered to remove shell fragments. Depending on the product, the yolk and white are either separated or left together. This mixture is then pasteurized through a heat shock process to eliminate bacteria, followed by rapid cooling to approximately 4°C to preserve quality and safety. The shelf life of liquid eggs depends on the factory and manufacturing conditions but typically ranges from 7–10 days when stored at 0–4°C. However, when packaged in aseptic bags, the shelf life can be significantly extended to up to 90 days, making these products even more versatile for global distribution.

Advanced Packaging for Improved Preservation

Aran’s aseptic bags prevent leaks or tears during filling and handling, maintaining product integrity. They are equipped with fitments that ensure sterility throughout the supply chain and are compatible with various filling and dispensing machines. This integration into automated filling lines simplifies operations for manufacturers, allowing them to scale production while preserving quality.
