EGGPROScience: the science behind EGGPRO egg-white drinks

11 May 2023

Co-funded by Greece and the European Union.

Project title: A study of the specific dietary requirements and preferences of consumers of different age groups, to improve the effectiveness of the EGGPRO range of egg-white products.

About the project

The hen's egg is a highly nutritious food, mainly thanks to its high content of protein of high nutritional value (highly digestible and bioavailable protein, rich in essential amino acids). Besides whole eggs, the market offers egg-white products, which have the advantage of being free of the yolk, which is high in fat.

For several years Avgodiatrofiki has sold a range of liquid egg-white products under the EGGPRO name: EGGPRO FITNESS, EGGPRO MUSCLE, EGGPRO PROTEIN, EGGPRO VITAL and EGGPRO VITAL SUPERFOODS. There is, however, no objective picture yet of what consumers prefer in such products, nor scientific evidence of their usefulness. With that evidence, their added value would grow, and proposals to improve them may emerge.

The aims

To study consumer preferences for EGGPRO products and other similar protein drinks.
To compare the effectiveness of one or more EGGPRO products with other protein drinks, in young and older people, athletes and non-athletes.
To propose improvements to EGGPRO products based on that comparison, along with dietary recommendations.
