Abstract

Egg, a highly nutritious food, contains high-quality proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This
food has been reported for its potential pharmacological properties, including antibacterial,
anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition,
immunomodulatory effects, and use in tissue engineering applications. The significance
of eggs and their components in disease prevention and treatment is worth more attention.
Eggs not only have been known as a “functional food” to combat diseases and facilitate the
promotion of optimal health, but also have numerous industrial applications. The current
review focuses on different perceptions and non-food applications of eggs, including
cosmetics. The versatility of eggs from an industrial perspective makes them a potential
candidate for further exploration of several novel components.
