Description
Summary:•Hydrolyzed egg proteins and proline demonstrated yolk gelation-inhibitory effects.•Anti-gelation mechanisms include maintenance of water and protein structural integrity.•Synergistic and antagonistic interactions occurred when a mix of additives are used. This study demonstrates technological advances in preventing yolk gelation during freezing and thawing. Gelation negatively affects yolk functionality in food formulation. Preventing gelation using 10% salt or sugar limits the application of the yolk. Novel food additives were tested to prevent gelation induced by freezing. Significant reduction (p
