description. Egg yolk forms about 30% of an egg. It is the part of an egg which feeds the embryo, hence it is a major source of fat, protein, vitamin and minerals. Egg yolk mainly consists of protein and lipids, The lipid part is almost fully bound to proteins, as lipoproteins. This is why egg yolk is a good emulsifier.
The yolk of one large egg (56.7 g total, 17.6 g yolk) contains around 2.8 g protein, 191 mg cholesterol, 0.63 g carbohydrates, and 4.66 g total fat. All of the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are found in the egg yolk. Egg yolk is one of the few foods naturally containing vitamin D.
