The combination significantly increased pH, moisture, protein, cooking yield, water holding capacity, moisture, fat retention, color and texture profile values compared to that without the flour in the formulation. Fat content was significantly higher for treatments using flours only (14.93% for TO and 12.81% for SO) compared to using combination of egg white powder with flour (13.46% for TE and 12.81% for SE). The effect of combination egg white powder with flour improved hardness 37.72 N (TO) to 40.49 N (TE) and 36
