American Egg Board	The American Egg Board is offering two Requests for Applications. Both have the same due dates for Letter of Intent and receipt of Applications. Background on Application Number One: --The American Egg Board is requesting proposals to update those factors affecting egg solids. Past research in the 1970's investigated the variability of egg solids. At that time, it was indicated that egg solids had declined through the years. This resulted in a change in the whole egg solids standard to 24.2%. Presently, the egg breaking industry continues to experience variation in egg solids. Several factors are known to affect egg solids including strain, age of the hen, respiratory diseases, environment, storage conditions, age of the egg, egg size, forced molting, in-line systems, off-line systems and breaking operations. There is a need to gain a better understanding of these factors and their effect on the shell eggs and breaking stock. Proposals should be designed to examine variables affecting egg solids (egg white, yolk and whole egg) of breaking stock. Background on Application Number Two: --It is well-known that eggs are poly-functional providing more than one function in food products. The primary egg functions include foaming, emulsifying, coagulation, crystallization control, color and flavor. Egg substitutes are sometimes suggested as being more economical. These re-placers are generally known to be mono-functional, thereby not providing the many multifunctional advantages of eggs. There is a need for comparison of eggs to egg re-placers in a variety of food applications. Proposals should compare functional properties of eggs and egg re-placers in the following food applications: --1. Mayonnaise--2. Pasta--3. Yellow Cake--4. Ice Cream Measurements should include objective tests and sensory evaluation. Re-placers chosen would likely vary depending on the food application.	Letter of Intent: Investigators should provide a two page Letter of Intent, stating their intent to submit an application including a general outline of the proposed study design to the American Egg Board no later than July 1, 2003. Proposal Due Date: The American Egg Board must receive completed proposals no later than August 1, 2003. Notification of funding will be made no later than September 1, 2003 with a start date for funding October 1, 2003.
