Crespel & Deiters launches plant-based egg replacement
The egg-replacer can be used as an alternative to eggs or dairy in baked goods.
USA – Crespel & Deiters Group Food USA has launched Lory Stab, a stabilizing compound designed to replace eggs and dairy in baked goods.
This introduction comes in response to significant egg shortages in the global food industry due to avian influenza, which has caused prices in the U.S. to surge by 41% and disrupted supplies nationwide.
Lory Stab offers manufacturers a high-quality and cost-effective alternative to eggs, without compromising taste and texture. Its high functionality helps address supply challenges while providing multiple processing benefits and an enhanced nutritional profile.
Lory Stab is made from natural, technically treated raw materials that ensure dough stability and optimal baking results.
It is suitable for a variety of baked goods typically prepared with baking powder, including muffins, pound cakes, cake bases, waffles, American pancakes, and traditional European desserts like Kaiserschmarrn.
In muffin production, it achieves the desired mushroom-shaped dome, enhancing visual appeal.
Furthermore, its neutral flavor profile allows for easy pairing with standard baking ingredients, making it adaptable for both sweet and savory applications.
Manufacturers can gain various advantages from using Lory Stab. It ensures consistent quality, authentic taste, and texture when used as a substitute for eggs in traditional recipes.
Additionally, it provides a cost-effective solution, helping businesses navigate the pressures of fluctuating egg prices.
Another benefit is its extended shelf life, which surpasses that of many other plant-based products, aiding in waste reduction and improving inventory management.
With less fat than comparable egg-based products, Lory Stab meets the increasing demand for healthier options.
“We are proud that Lory Stab addresses the current egg crisis and related supply chain issues by offering a nutritionally sound, plant-based alternative. Our innovative solution caters to the consumer demand for top-quality, plant-based alternatives without sacrificing taste and texture. Additionally, we provide expert consultancy services for manufacturers, including formulation support and advice on production processes,” said Norbert Klein, head of R&D at Crespel & Deiters Group.
