AB - The soft-grainy texture of cooked egg yolk is the result of a series of out-of-equilibrium processes of its protein-lipid contents; however, it is unclearhow egg yolk constituents contribute to these processes to create the desiredtexture. By employing X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy, we investigatethe functional contribution of egg yolk constituents: proteins, low-densitylipoproteins (LDLs), and yolk-granules to the development of grainy-gelmicrostructure and microscopic dynamics during cooking. We find that theviscosity of the heated egg yolk is solely determined by the degree ofprotein gelation, whereas the grainy-gel texture is controlled by the extent of LDL aggregation. Overall, protein denaturation-aggregation-gelation andLDL-aggregation follows Arrhenius-type time-temperature superposition (TTS),indicating an identical reaction route with a temperature-dependent reactionrate. However, above 75 ◦C TTS breaks down and temperature-independentgelation dynamics is observed, demonstrating that the temperature can nolonger accelerate certain non-equilibrium processes above a threshold value.
