In this research, production of egg powder with some ingredients (Turkish cofee, cocoa and propolis) is investigated. Eggs were mixed with Turkish coffee (1%) and cocoa (1%), separetly. Then propolis was added to eggs at levels 0.5% and 1%, separetly. Samples were packaged in nylon bags after freeze drying, and then they were stored in room temperature for 14 days. Moisture (%), color, pH, mesophilic aerophilic bacteria (TMAB), water absorption and solubility index were performed for 0, 7 and 14 days of storage. The brightest sample (L*) was obtained from egg powder has 1% cocoa and 1% propolis (55.17±0.92). The highest pH value was determined in egg powder has 1% cocoa + 0.5% propolis (9.03±0.12). The addition of propolis resulted in a decrease of moisture and pH values in samples with Turkish coffee and cocoa. These results demonstrated that propolis improved some physicochemical properties of powders.
