Octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) starch has the potential to be used as an egg yolk replacer (emulsifier) in low-fat spread formulations, a relatively unexplored application compared to its conventional use in mayonnaise and salad dressings. This study elucidates the novel functionality of OSA starch in low-fat spread systems, offering a potential alternative to conventional emulsifiers associated with allergenic concerns. OSA starch was partially substituted into low-fat spread formulations, and its effects on the physicochemical and functional properties of the spreads were investigated. Reducing egg yolk content from 4% to 1% significantly lowered the pH and increased the water content in spreads formulated with both OSA and native potato starch. The fat content of the spreads also decreased significantly with the incorporation of OSA starch. The yellowness of the starch-formulated spreads increased significantly with egg yolk concentrations. The microstructure of spreads formulated with OSA starch differed from that of spreads made with native potato starch; OSA starch granules exhibited enhanced interfacial activity, forming a more compact and continuous network along the water–oil interface. All spread samples exhibited solid-like, elastic gel characteristics and demonstrated non-Newtonian, shear-thinning, pseudoplastic behavior. Replacing egg yolk with 3% OSA starch did not significantly alter the stability, texture, or rheological properties of the spreads. The OSA spread containing 1% egg yolk (O1) had the softest texture, was the least adhesive, and required the lowest force to spread. Overall, these findings establish OSA starch as a promising emulsifier for low-fat spreads, extending its application beyond traditional emulsified systems.
