Abstract

The present invention provides improvements in supercritical fluid extraction of particulate egg substrates by forming the substrate into porous solid particles characterized by a number weighted mean particle size ranging from about 0.5 millimeters to about 3 millimeters and by a tapped bulk density of from about 0.2 to about 0.5 grams per milliliter prior to subjecting the substrate to extraction under supercritical conditions.
