Feeding to Produce n-3 Fatty Acid-enriched Table Eggs

Serum lipid response to n-3 fatty acid enriched eggs in persons with hypercholesterolemia.

Enriched eggs as a source of N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids for humans.

Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) decreases the risk of heart disease, inhibits the growth of prostate and breast cancer, delays the loss of immunological functions, and is required for normal fetal brain and visual development. The US has not established a recommended daily intake for n-3 PUFA. However, Canada has established the Canadian Recommended Nutrient Intake (CRNI) at 0....

Analysis of omega 3 fatty acid in natural and enriched chicken eggs by capillary zone electrophoresis.

Qualitative differentiation between natural and enriched chicken eggs through omega (ω) 3 fatty acid profiles by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) under direct UV detection at 200 nm is proposed. The electrolyte background consisted of 12.0 mmol L(-1) tetraborate buffer (pH 9.2) mixed with 12.0 mmol L(-1) Brij 35, 17% acetonitrile (ACN) and 33% methanol (MeOH). Omega 3 fatty acid profile in ...

Consumption of Omega-3 Fatty Acid-Enriched Eggs and Serum Lipids in Humans

This study examined the effectiveness of consuming omega-3 fatty acid-enriched eggs (Omega Eggs) in increasing rotal diclary omcga-3 fatty acids. Also examined was the impact of OmegaE~gg consumption on serum lipids. Sixteen hypercholesterolemic men and women with baseline serum total cholesterol concentrations of 5. J 7-7.76 mmoliL (200-300 mg/dL) followed the National Cholesterol Education Pr...

Producing Omega-3 Enriched Eggs

As with traditional feed grains, the form in which flax seed is fed impacts egg production and hen performance (Choi et al. 1986, Vilarino et al. 1996). Flax seed form also affects the amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) incorporated into the egg. Differences in the omega-3 content of eggs from laying hens fed whole versus milled flax seed have been reported, with many researche...
