Abstract

The intention of this study was to make a mayonnaise specifically for egg allergens or
intolerant and for those who don’t like the odor of egg and for vegans. Egg allergy or
intolerance basically an immune hypersensitivity disease of egg protein called anaphylaxis,
usually found in infants or young children. Aquafaba is one of the superlative egg replacer
because it works tremendously well as a mimicker of egg. Aquafaba is the viscous water in
which chickpeas have been cooked which is usually discarded but it can be used as a
thickener, binder and emulsifier also as a foaming agent and now it is broadly prevalent in
the vegan culture. Utilizing auqafaba is to eliminate the smell and allergens cause by egg
because aquafaba does not cause bad smell neither not an allergen instead of which it is a
Cholesterol-free replacer and it is extremely low in calories. The color and texture of
mayonnaise made with either egg white or aquafaba both were similar and acceptable but
the consistency of the mayonnaise prepared with aquafaba was less than made with egg
white, our results showed that aquafaba has capability to substitute egg in different egg
recipes.
