AbstractThe aim of this study was to make eggs microbially safe and increase their durability without damaging the functional properties of the albumen and preserving the solubility of its proteins as much as possible by the solution plasma technique. The pH, Brix, density, and viscosity values of samples decreased during treatment (p < .05 except pH). Although the L* and a* values of both the albumen and egg foam decreased, the b*, hue angle, and chroma values of both increased during treatment. The L* and a* values of the albumen decreased by 7.01 and 1.89 units, and the values of the egg foam decreased by 10.93 and 1.03 units, respectively. At the end of the treatment, foaming capacity and foam stability were decreased by 25% and 21.42%, respectively. Foaming capacity values obtained as a result of this treatment were higher and foam stability values were lower compared to the values obtained in pasteurization of eggs by heat treatment. The count of the two pathogenic bacteria inoculated into the albumen decreased during the treatment (p < .05), the count of Salmonella Enteritidis decreased to 0, and the count of Staphylococcus aureus decreased by 1.09 log cfu/g at the end of the treatment. Compared to current heat treatments, solution plasma treatment caused significantly less adverse effects on albumen quality characteristics. In particular, the foaming properties of the albumen were much less affected by this method and remained at higher values compared to the values achieved by other methods. The treatment also produced a microbiologically safer product.
