Dear Researchers,
As egg yolk/oil has wide medicinal applications, thereby I wish to know about its employment in the Pesticide formulation.
Composition of chicken egg yolk:
The yolk makes up about 33% of the liquid weight of the egg; it contains approximately 60 calories, three times the caloric content of the egg white.
The yolk of one large egg (50 g total, 17 g yolk) contains approximately: 2.7 g protein, 210 mg cholesterol, 0.61 g carbohydrates, and 4.51 g total fat.[4]
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.
The composition (by weight) of the most prevalent fatty acids in egg yolk is typically as follows:[5]
Unsaturated fatty acids:
Oleic acid, 47%
Linoleic acid, 16%
Palmitoleic acid, 5%
Linolenic acid, 2%
Saturated fatty acids:
Palmitic acid, 23%
Stearic acid, 4%
Myristic acid, 1%
Egg yolk is a source of lecithin as well as egg oil for cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications. Based on weight, egg yolk contains about 9% lecithin.
The yellow color is due to lutein and zeaxanthin, which are yellow or orange carotenoids known as xanthophylls.

Do you read these book ?? they are full of new idea and result of research on egg,I didnt see any topic about agrochemical formulation in them but maybe they can help you.

The classic "bible" on eggs is by Romanov and Romanov: The Avian Egg.
Although it is decades old, it still might give you valuable information.
I work in agrochemical industry but have not heard of such thing. It can be tried to be use as non-ionic surfactant to prepare EC formulations. It need to be checked whether it will lead to stable formulation.
Hi Mayur,
just wanted to know did you get any success with your work with using egg yolk? If so please do share. If need any help please feel free to contact. You can mail me at [email protected]
