Egg whites are an excellent source of protein, rich in essential amino acids,cholesterol-free and easily digestible. They also provide support for building muscle and strengthening the bodyís immunity. This is the reason why doctors recommend the elderly and people with health problems who need high protein but low fat, such as patients with high cholesterol, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes or those who want to control their weight, etc., to consume boiled egg whites daily.
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, especially, need to consume a lot of egg whites to boost their strength. However, eating the white of hard-boiled eggs daily can be just boring or become difficult for patients suffering from nausea.
Asst. Prof. Dr.Sathaporn Ngamukote, co-founder of Thandee Innofood Co., Ltd., who has experience as a dietician for patients with kidney disease and cancer, took note of this fact and looked for a new food product that patients would consume happily.
It was this search that inspired the creation of ready-to-eat egg-white noodles, that are high in protein, starch-free, fat-free, low in calories and can be stored for up to 18 months without refrigeration. One 100-gram pack of egg-white noodles can provide 45 to 50 calories and 8 to 10 grams of protein.
“Egg-white products are produced using innovative protein transformation technology - a first not only in Thailand but also in the world. The noodles are made using a new type of extrusion machine that uses plant extracts to wrap the protein and fashion it into the form of noodles that are soft in texture, taste delicious and maintain the value of the protein provided by egg whites. “The production process was initially challenging, with many obstacles arising with the development of machinery and procurement of suitable raw materials. It also took a long time to develop and improve the taste of the product as needed. Currently, we are marketing three products under the Eggyday brand: egg-white vermicelli, egg-white ramen and egg-white pearls.”The Eggday line targets three main groups of people: people with chronic conditions like kidney disease, cancer, diabetes; elderly people and those with food allergies; and health-conscious people who want to build a lean body. The products are currently available via three modern distribution channels, including HoReCa (hotels, restaurants and catering), online vendors and social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Line, Instagram, Facebook (@eggyday.official) and website www.eggydayofficial.com. The products are priced at 79 baht per pack.
InnovationEgg-white noodles are produced using an innovative protein transformation technology that changes the shape of boiled egg whites. This technology uses plant extracts to encapsulate protein to create noodles that are soft in texture, taste delicious and retain the protein content of egg whites. These noodles are suitable for people with kidney disease, cancer and the elderly who need to consume easily digestible protein, and for those who want to control their weight. The product can be stored for up to 18 months without refrigeration.
GrowthFocus on expansion via modern trade channels and HoReCa, as well as supplying hospitals and the health
industry. This is in conjunction with a plan to expand to foreign markets with the target of producing 100,000 packets per year.
