Substitutes for Pasteurized Egg Yolk in gelato

Pasteurized egg yolk is a liquid emulsifier for custard-style (crema) gelato, delivering ~45% solids that are roughly 60% fat and rich in natural lecithin. It binds water and fat for a smoother, denser, more stable emulsion rather than sweetening or lowering the freezing point. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
