The invention relates to a method for producing a mixture containing a hydrated egg product and a substance of interest, wherein the mixing is carried out by means of ultrasonic nebulisation. The method comprises: beating at least one egg product until it is in a foam state; adding at least one substance of interest, in the form of a pressurised mist, to the foamy egg product; mixing until an emulsified mixture in a foam state is obtained; suctioning the emulsified mixture in order to transfer same to a dehydrator; dehydrating the emulsified mixture until a moisture level no greater than 5% is obtained; grinding the emulsified mixture to the desired grain size distribution; and sterilising the ground mixture. The invention also relates to the mixtures produced using said method, and to the products containing said mixture.

[Object] To provide a method of producing dried egg white capable of easily and stably obtaining dried egg white having high gel strength, and the dried egg white.

[Solving Means] In this dried egg white, a proportion of an egg white protein having a molecular weight of not less than 97,400 and not more than 340,000 is not less than 35% of a proportion of an egg white protein having a molecular weight of not less than 20,100 and not more than 340,000

A method of making dried egg product utilizing cooked eggs includes a mixing step, a drying step, and at least one transporting step. In the mixing step, an amount of cooked eggs is mixed with an amount of liquid egg to create a mixture. In the drying step, at least one item selected from the group consisting of the mixture and a homogeneous mixture created from the mixture are dried to create the dried egg product. In the at least one transporting step, the mixture is transported from the mixing step to the drying step. The mixture is less viscous than the amount of cooked eggs to facilitate transporting from the mixing step to the drying step. The mixture is not processed through a filter or membrane for removing water.

According to the present invention, a sterilant can be injected into a container without residual water on an object to be sterilized. The method includes decreasing a pressure in the container to a pressure higher than the triple point pressure at which water freezes. The method further includes comparing an actual time required for decreasing the pressure and a reference time, or comparing an actual rate of pressure increase and a reference rate to detect residual water on the object. If the residual water is detected, the pressure in the container is increased to the atmospheric pressure or the quasi-atmospheric pressure and the object is heated, and then the pressure is decreased to drain the residual water through the decompression boiling. The step of draining the residual water is repeatedly performed until no residual water is detected on the object and subsequently the sterilant is injected into the container.
