A study of the dynamics of egg yolk salting clarified the diffusion of salt and the resulting changes in yolk quality and thereby provided guidance for better control of the final product. The effects of different salt contents in the salting solution (between 16 and 24%) on the mass transfer kinetics and egg yolk quality were analyzed during rapid salting. The results for the egg yolks showed that the changes in weight and water concentration decreased with increasing salt mass fraction, while the NaCl change increased. An increase in the salt content in the salting solution increased the effective diffusion coefficient (Dₑ) of NaCl. Low-frequency nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) spectroscopy showed that higher salt content in the solution improved the amount of water transferred. The salted egg yolks treated in the 20–24% salting solutions had higher hardness, cohesiveness, oil yield and sandiness than those treated in other salting solutions. The samples salted in 16% solution had the highest values of the egg yolk index and CIELAB colorspace dimensions a* and b*. An analysis revealed statistically significant correlations between oil yield, sandiness, texture and color with Dₑ. Taking oil yield and sandiness as the main indexes and comprehensively considering other sensory characteristics showed that 20% NaCl was the most suitable salt water solution for the rapid salting of hen egg yolks.
