  • Egg Allergy: the Facts
    Egg Allergy: The Facts Egg is a common cause of allergic reactions in infants and young children. It often begins in the child’s first year of life and in some cases lasts into the teenage years – or even into adulthood for a few people. Children who develop allergy to foods such as egg often have other allergic conditions. Eczema and food allergy often occur in early infancy and later on there may be hay-fever, asthma or both. This Factsheet aims to answer some of the questions which you and your family may have about living with egg allergy. Our aim is to provide information that will help you to understand and minimise risks. Even severe cases can be well managed with the right guidance. Many cases of egg allergy are mild, but more severe symptoms are a possibility for some people. If you believe you or your child is allergic to egg, the most important message is to visit your GP and ask for allergy tests and expert advice on management. Throughout this Factsheet you will see brief medical references given in brackets. If you wish to see the full references, please email us at [email protected]. Symptoms triggered by egg The symptoms of a food allergy, including egg allergy, may occur within seconds or minutes of contact with the culprit food. On occasions there may be a delay of more than an hour. Mild symptoms include nettle rash (otherwise known as hives or urticaria) or a tingling or itchy feeling in the mouth. More serious symptoms are uncommon but remain a possibility for some people, including children.

  • COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT EGGS by Jacquie Jacob and Tony Pescatore
    PUB NUMBER (if applicable) COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT EGGS By Jacquie Jacob and Tony Pescatore Question: Since eggs contain cholesterol, should I avoid eating eggs? No. Eggs are an excellent source of easy to digest, high quality protein that can play an important role in the diet of most Americans. It is true that high blood cholesterol levels have been shown to aggravate heart problems, but research has also shown that the presence or absence of eggs in the diet of most Americans is not likely to in- crease blood cholesterol levels. Only a small minority of people cannot regulate blood cholesterol levels. These people need to avoid high-cholesterol foods. One large egg contains about 213 milligrams (mg) of cholesterol—all of which is found in the yolk. The American Medical Association (AMA) recommends that, as long as you are healthy, you should limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 300 mg a day. If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or high LDL (or "bad") cholesterol, you should limit your dietary cholesterol intake to less than 200 mg a day. Therefore, if you eat an egg on a given day, it's important to limit or avoid other sources of cholesterol for the rest of that day. If you like eggs but do not want the cholesterol it contains, use egg whites which do not contain cholesterol. You can also use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg whites. If you want to reduce cholesterol in a recipe that calls for eggs, use two egg whites or 1/4 cup cholesterol-free egg substitute in place of one whole egg.

  • Whipped Cream Has Been Around Since the 16Th Century
    Whipped Cream Has Been Around Since The 16th Century On January 5, add a little extra something special to desserts to celebrate National Whipped Cream Day. Add whipped cream! Not only does it add creaminess and bit of pizzaz, but it also makes the difference between the ho-hum or a celebration kind of beverage or dessert. This holiday falls on the birthday of Reddi-wip founder Aaron “Bunny” Lapin. Aaron who invented Reddi-wip in 1948, was born on January 5, 1914, and died on July 10, 1999. It was in 1946, when the aerosol can was first invented by Aaron Lapin, that sales and popularity of this dessert delight really took off. Whipped cream is also sometimes called Chantilly cream or creme Chantilly. Recipes from the 16th century included whipped cream that was sweetened and aromatised. The names milk snow and snow cream were used. The English name whipped cream found its beginning in 1673. The name snow cream continued to be used throughout the 17th century. Chilled cream whips better than warm cream, at times if not chilled properly the cream may not whip. Also, it renders a deeper taste. Cream must be below 50 degrees to whip, at 50 or above it churns into butter rather than whips. Whipped cream has been around since the 16th century. It was included in recipes that date back to 1549 in Italy and 1604 in France. Until the 19th century, recipes for whipped cream called for whipping the cream with a willow or rush branch in place of the modern whisk.

  • Egg White Foam
    BAFFLING BEATERS Background Egg White Foam Egg white foam is a type of foam (a colloid in which a gas is dispersed or spread throughout a liquid) used in meringues, souffl és, and angel food cake to make them light and porous (airy). To prepare an egg white foam, egg whites are initially beaten (with a wire wisk or electric mixer) until they become frothy. Then an acid (such as cream of tartar) is added. Depending on the application, the beating of the egg white continues until soft (when the peaks stand straight and bend slightly at the tips) or stiff peaks (when the peaks stand straight without bending) are formed. Salt and sugar may also be added. How It Works: Egg whites are made up of water, protein, and small amounts of minerals and sugars. When the egg whites are beaten, air is added and the egg white protein, albumen, is denatured. Denaturation is the change of a protein’s shape under stress (in this case, beating). The denatured protein coats the air bubbles and holds in the water, causing them to References Food Mysteries Case 4: Protein Puzzlers. 1992. Originally developed by 4-H become stiff and stable.
