The document discusses trends in the Japanese egg market and egg production. It provides background data on egg consumption in Japan compared to other proteins. It then discusses several topics related to the Japanese egg market including: table egg and processed egg markets; popular egg brands and value-added eggs; egg color and pigmentation; and functional foods using eggs like anti-H. pylori IgY to potentially fight stomach ulcers. The document is authored by Hajime Hatta from Kyoto Women's University and provides an overview of the Japanese egg industry and research on new egg applications.

produce table

12. Table Eggs
Since about 50% of the annual egg
consumption has been estimated in the Table
Eggs market. It is quite a big market in Japan,
however the average egg price has been low
enough for egg producers either quit business
or go further. In this situation these days,
Japanese producers have challenged to
develop many egg brands, in other words
value-added eggs.

15. Importance of Egg Yolk Color in Japan
Yolk Color Fan
The yolk color fan has been widely used in Japan. It has
developed in 1967 based on the color tone of Canthaxanthin.

32. Egg Processing
Next topics are relating to an egg
processing. I had been in charge of R &D in an
egg company for almost 18 years. I introduce
processed eggs briefly, and then focus on
unique boiled eggs in which I have researched
several years. There are many different kinds of
boiled eggs, some of them you have not seen
ever. I have developed these in my laboratory at
Kyoto Women’s University.

4 eggs were put in the

minutes.
43. After eggs were boiled 5.5 minutes,
remove eggs in ice cold water as
soon as possible.
Peel the shell.
Both side of

were sliced.
Cut half and keep on the
knife without flowing
out the yolk inside
carefully, then turn over.
