This work investigates the dynamic interfacial tension, the interfacial rheological properties and bulk rheological behavior and apparent viscosity of egg white as well as the egg white foam properties (foamability and changes in foam volume and foam bubble size distribution) as affected by egg storage time under different temperatures and whipping time. The results are compared with those obtained using econstituted egg white from egg white powder.
